About Me

I am a 4th year Ph.D. student in the Information Retrieval Lab (IRLab) at the University of Amsterdam, supervised by Evangelos Kanoulas and Andrew Yates. During my PhD I interned at Amazon Search Barcelona and prior to that I worked as a Data Scientist at bol.com. I have a Master’s Degree in Data Science from the University of Amsterdam and a Diploma of Electrical and Computer Engineering from A.U.Th.. You can find my CV here.
