I’m an assistant professor in the Kahlert School of Computing at the University of Utah. My research interests broadly fall into NLP, human-centered AI, and intrepretability.
Previously, I was a Young Investigator at the Allen Institute for AI (2019–2022), working with Noah A. Smith and Yejin Choi, and held a courtesy appointment in the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Washington. I earned my PhD from the Heidelberg University NLP Group, where I was advised by Anette Frank. Prior to receiving my PhD in 2019, I completed B.Sc. (2013) and M.Sc. (2015) in Mathematics at the University of Zagreb.
I grew up in Omiš, Croatia. One would think I was always appreciative of mountains living in a place like that, but it took moving to Seattle to realize that free time is best spent outdoors.
