I am an Academic Associate in the Language, Technology and Accessibility group. I work in the Inclusive Information and Communication Technologies (IICT) Project and also in the European project EASIER on Sign Language Translation.
Until 2020, I was a Postdoc in MUTAMUR and Rich Contexts in Neural Machine Translation. I was also a member of the former projects MODERN: Modeling Discourse Entities and Relations for Coherent Machine Translation and SQUOIA.
