Lucas Resck
PhD student in NLP at Cambridge

I am a first-year PhD student in Computation, Cognition and Language at the Language Technology Lab at the University of Cambridge, supervised by Prof. Anna Korhonen and Prof. Isabelle Augenstein under the ELLIS PhD Program. I am a Girton College member and a Cambridge Trust scholar. My research interests are machine learning, natural language processing and explainable AI.
Previously, I was a researcher at the Visual Data Science Lab at Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV) in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, conducting research on similar topics. I hold an MSc in Mathematical Modeling (2024) and a BSc in Applied Mathematics (2021) from the School of Applied Mathematics at FGV.
In 2022, I was a visiting researcher at the Vision, Language, and Learning Lab at Rice University, Houston. I also have experience applying computational methods to solve legal problems.
