About me

Hello! I am a PhD candidate in the Philosophy & Ethics group at Eindhoven University of Technology, where I work on philosophy of AI and large language models.

More specifically, I investigate if large language models acquire any knowledge of language, and if so, what kind of knowledge (in fact, I argue they might acquire tacit knowledge of a semantic theory, provided they meet certain constraints).

In my PhD project, I am supervised by dr. Carlos Zednik and prof. dr. Vincent Müller.
