About me

I am a PhD candidate in Computer Science at Heriot-Watt University and University of Edinburgh, funded by the Edinburgh Centre for Robotics.
I work in the Interaction Lab (iLab) group under the supervision of Verena Rieser and Yannis Konstas.
I am working on Knowledge-Grounded Open-Domain Dialogue, more specifically I explore how to transition between topics in a conversation without being abrupt.
