Research Interests
My research interests focus on preprocessing, structuring, and modelling of legal data to enhance its suitability for responsible machine processing. I'm particularly drawn to rule-dense domains, such as tax law, that offer rich opportunities to explore how legal frameworks can be structured for machines to interpret and reason with greater transparency and accountability.
My interest in my PhD topic was sparked in 2021 during a project at my home university. I was tasked with conducting a comparative analysis of requirements for cross-border working researchers. The traditional approach resulted in a document spanning hundreds of pages, filled with cross-references and abbreviations—clearly illustrating the complexity of international mobility. To simplify this, I proposed converting the data format from text to tables. This change allowed users to input their specific circumstances and filter only the relevant legal information. The project has since grown in scope, team size, and overall scale, securing Horizon Europe funding. The complexity of international mobility, and my curiosity about how more sophisticated technologies can be used to manage it, has captivated my attention ever since.
Beyond my passion for using technology in law, I'm deeply enthusiastic about endurance sports. I've finished five half marathons and the UTMB100K (Julian Alps Ultra Trail Run).
