Research Group Leader in Natural Language Processing and the impact of Artificial Intelligence on writing and reading in human communication.
I am a Computer Science researcher at the University of Göttingen — Computer Science Department and Göttingen State and University Library — working in the GippLab. My research is focused on natural language processing and artificial intelligence.
I obtained my Habilitation at the University of Göttingen, a Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Michigan, a master's in Information Engineering at the Federal University of ABC, and a Bachelor's in Computer Science and Science & Technology at the same institution. I also worked as a Ph.D. intern at the National Institute of Informatics (Japan) at the Aizawa Laboratory, and spent six years at IBM Brazil in software product, team-lead, and IT specialist roles.
My interests lie in the overlap of NLP, AI, and machine learning — particularly research that requires extracting and applying semantic features from textual data to solve significant problems.
Models, methods, and evaluation for written language at scale — with a focus on scholarly text: representation, paraphrase, summarisation, retrieval, and the seams where these connect to the act of writing itself.
How generative systems are reshaping communication, knowledge work, and academic integrity. Studies, instruments, and detection methods for understanding what changes when humans write with machines.
Scholarly knowledge graphs, bibliometrics, and large-scale corpora — the infrastructure that makes empirical NLP research on the literature itself possible.
