About me
I’m a research engineer at Spotify in London.
Previously, I was a graduate student at the Functional Neuroimaging Lab of Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia in Rovereto, Italy, working with Alessandro Gozzi. I did my BSc in Computer Science at Charles University in Prague working on machine translation with Ondřej Bojar, and my MSc in Computer and Cognitive Science at The University of Melbourne and University of Trento working on computer vision, distributional semantics and machine learning with Marco Baroni and Elia Bruni. All my theses are here.
