I am a Professor at the University of Copenhagen, Department of Computer Science, where I head the Copenhagen Natural Language Understanding research group, the Natural Language Processing section. My main research interests are fair and accountable NLP, including challenges such as explainability, factuality and bias detection. Prior to starting a faculty position, I was a postdoctoral researcher in the UCL Machine Reading group, and I hold a PhD from the University of Sheffield. In October 2022, I became Denmark’s youngest ever female full professor. I currently hold a prestigious ERC Starting Grant on 'Explainable and Robust Automatic Fact Checking', as well as the Danish equivalent of that, a DFF Sapere Aude Research Leader fellowship on 'Learning to Explain Attitudes on Social Media'. My research has been recognised by a Karen Spärck Jones Award, as well as a Hartmann Diploma Prize. I am a member of the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters, and co-lead of the Danish Pioneer Centre for Artificial Intelligence.
