I build trustworthy AI and foundation models for low-resource languages.
GermanyWhat I'm looking for
At Bonn-Aachen International Center for Information Technology, I lead the Polyglot project, developing foundation models and resources for low-resource languages while advising bachelor's, master's, and PhD students.
I've developed language models, datasets, algorithmic impact assessments, and value-sensitive design tools across the University of Bonn, PUCRS, and RAIES. My joint PhDs in AI ethics bridge normative theory and engineering practices for trustworthy, open-source AI.
