Senior🎓
Top SchoolSimone Balloccu is a computer scientist and NLP researcher with a decade of experience bridging AI research and real-world expert domains, currently leading the "NLP for Expert Domains" group at TU Darmstadt. Her work focuses on controllability and safety of text generation, AI for mental health and behaviour change, and human evaluation of AI, built through roles in ERC- and H2020-funded projects and industry collaborations with Philips. She has deep experience in designing AI agents that cooperate with domain experts for tasks like ML, data science, and software engineering, and brings practical insights from Marie Curie and postdoctoral research positions. Unusually for an academic leader, she combines rigorous evaluation methodologies with hands-on dataset and counselling-AI development, making her research both scientifically robust and readily applicable.
