Dr Sadrzadeh is one of eight researchers from across the UK to be recognised this year by the Royal Academy of Engineering, as it announces new industry-academia partnerships to address major engineering challenges. Her research is in developing logical and mathematical models that can improve machine learning of text. In particular, she's developing ways to incorporate tensors, an algebraic concept originally devised for the field of quantum mechanics, to help bridge the gap between different fields of logic to more fully represent natural language mathematically. With the fellowship, she will build on her existing partnership with Cambridge Quantum and BBC Research & Development to further develop her mathematical models. Dr Sadrzadeh received her Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering and her Master's in Logic from Sharif University in Tehran, Iran. She received her PhD from the University of Quebec and joined UCL's Faculty of Engineering in 2019.
