I am a multidisciplinary scientist with a background in linguistics (University of Edinburgh, University of Tartu) and artificial intelligence (KU Leuven). My research focuses on the study of language, media, and culture, particularly changes over time and the evolutionary processes that drive them. In my work, I employ methods ranging from machine learning and statistics to cognitive experiments. In addition to my academic work, I also operate as an instructor and consultant in digital skills and artificial intelligence.
