Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNilo Pedrazzini is a postdoctoral researcher and computational linguist with eight years’ experience applying quantitative data analysis, NLP, and digital humanities methods to historical and typologically diverse languages. Currently working on literary innovation at Queen Mary and probing multilingual LLMs at the University of Oslo, he brings a rare blend of large-scale corpus engineering and linguistic typology grounded in a DPhil from Oxford. As a former Turing Research Fellow he has built noisy-text embedding pipelines for diachronic semantic analysis, improved digitized newspaper infrastructures, and adapted transformers for geoscience nowcasting—demonstrating versatility across domains. His background in Slavonic studies and rare-book cataloguing informs a meticulous approach to messy historical data, while teaching and RSE roles reflect strong reproducibility and tooling instincts.
