About

I’m currently a Senior Data Scientist at Fraugster, a fraud prevention service for online businesses. I help develop and deploy algorithms that detect credit card fraud.

Previously, I was an experimental and computational psycholinguist at Saarland University. I primarily used behavioral experiments and probabilistic models to look at how people combine expectations about speaker efficiency, world knowledge, and discourse in interpreting the meaning of complex utterances. You can find my PhD thesis here.

I’m a native English and Russian speaker, and semi-proficient German speaker. In my off-time, I enjoy hiking, rock climbing, and playing board games. I like data, sci-fi, and cats.
