About

[If we don't know each other / haven't met in person, please add a message to your connect-request] I am an Independent Research Group Leader at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen, and a part-time Assistant Professor of Cognitive AI at the University of Amsterdam. I study how biological brains and modern AI systems understand language and make sense of the world, and occasionally write or speak for a broader audience about all things artificial intelligence and the human mind. I also co-chair the Amsterdam Young Academy, a platform connecting early-career researchers in Amsterdam around science policy, academic reform, and public discourse
