About

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the SCRIBE-project, where I am primarily involved in workpackages 2, on handling dialectal variation, and 3, on evaluation metrics. Additionally, I investigate the algorithms we use to solve linguistic tasks, why some meanings are universal across languages, and the relationship between language and mathematical cognition.

Before coming to IES, I was a doctoral research fellow in linguistics at the Language Acquisition and Language Processing Lab (LALP) at the Department of Language and Literature. The project was also affiliated with the Cognitive Semantics and Quantities project funded by the European Research Council and based out of the Institute for Logic, Language, and Computation at the University of Amsterdam. In my PhD (2023), I studied whether mathematically demonstrable differences in computational complexity was reflected in detectable changes in brain activity during verification of sentences containing quantifiers ('all', 'most', etc.).

Furthermore, I have an MA (2013) in Scandinavian linguistics from NTNU and an MSc (2015) in Philosophy from the University of Edinburgh. Moreover, I have studied Scandinavian language at Uppsala University and philosophy at the University of Oslo.

Research interests

  • Large language models
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Cognitive neuroscience
  • Neurolinguistics
  • Formal semantics
  • Philosophy of (cognitive) science
  • Metaphysics
  • Philosophy of language

Media

I can occasionally be heard in the panel of NRK P2's Språksnakk, where I answer listener questions about (the Norwegian) language. You can find the episodes where I contribute here (Norwegian only).
