About Me

Hi, I'm Fred. I am a PhD candidate at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT) at the University of Luxembourg focusing on Natural Language Processing (NLP). My research is focused on multilingual language models and cross-lingual NLP, with a focus on low-resource languages and parameter-efficient methods.
