I'm a PhD student at the Department of Computer and Systems Sciences at Stockholm University where I am researching natural language processing and privacy preservation. I have previously worked in the software industry as mostly as a back-end developer and as a data engineer.
No, I'm also passionate about politics and have a background as an elected official for the Social Democrats. While most of my spare-time used to be consumed by this constructive urge to work for a better society, now all that energy has been directed towards ranting. :)
A lot of time is also spent geeking out about languages. My passion for natural languages goes beyond processing them using computers, I also like them irl! I'm always working on improving my Persian language skills (my second mother tongue after Swedish) or oversharing "fun facts" about phonetics and other exciting language features.
