Research Profile

I am interested in how large language models reason, where their reasoning succeeds or fails, and how NLP evaluation can better capture model behavior. My current work is centered on reasoning tasks for LLMs, including multilingual agent evaluation.

Current Focus

  • Large language models
  • Reasoning tasks in NLP
  • Agent reasoning
  • Evaluation of model behavior
