I am a Research Scientist at Google Research in Sydney, Australia, working on Gemini multilinguality.

I completed (grad. pend.) a PhD in Natural Language Processing at the University of Cambridge’s Language Technology lab, where I was supervised by Anna Korhonen, Ivan Vulić and Edoardo Ponti. I am grateful to have been funded by the Harding Distinguished Postgraduate Scholarship.

In 2024, I was a Research Intern at Microsoft Research Montreal, working on modular fine-tuning of LLMs with Alessandro Sordoni and Lucas Caccia.

I previously obtained a Masters degree in Computer Science, specialising in Natural Language Processing, at the University of Waikato under the supervision of Bernhard Pfahringer and Felipe Bravo-Marquez. I was an undergraduate at the University of Auckland, completing a conjoint Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) / Bachelor of Arts degree.

I am a former bronze medallist at the International Olympiad in Informatics and completed two software engineering internships at Google. I got interested in AI through game AI programming. You can find my third-place winning entry to the 2018 CodeCup international game AI programming competition here.
