I studied computer science at Moscow State University of Instrument Engineering and Computer Science (Russia) in 2007-2012 and linguistics at Moscow State Linguistic University (Russia) in 2012-2016. Soon after completing the latter degree‚ I was granted a scholarship to pursue a master-level degree in computational linguistics at the University of Stuttgart (Germany) where I also co-taught the course "Parsing" in summer semester 2018. As part of that program‚ I took several AI-related courses at the University of Amsterdam (Netherlands) as an exchange student. Currently‚ I am working as a predoctoral researcher on the PhD project entitled "Argumentative Conversational Agents for Explainable Artificial Intelligence". It focusses on counterfactual explanation generation and lies in the area of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) where various artificial intelligence topics meet (e.g.‚ soft computing‚ natural language processing‚ argumentation theory‚ human-computer interaction, among others).
