I'm a Ph.D. student at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics & the Computer Science Department at Saarland Univeristy in Germany.
My advisor is Prof. Gerhard Weikum.
I currently work on natural language question answering and knowledge base usability. For more, say hi to DEANNA. I'm interested in NLP, semantic search, and database systems.
