Carlos Hartmann serves as a Teaching and Research Assistant in English Linguistics.
During his undergraduate years, he extensively researched the singular they pronoun. Both his BA and MA theses were honored with the UZH's Semesterpreis award. His MA thesis, Shifting Pronouns and Disruptive Technology: Studying Singular They with GPT-3, was among the pioneering works using Large Language Models (LLMs) in linguistic research.
For his PhD project, he is continuing the exploration of LLMs as research tools while delving deeper into the sociolinguistic dynamics behind the recent surge in the use of singular they.
