Researcher in Computational Linguistics/Natural Language Processing. Passionate foreign language learner and teacher.
I am currently pursuing a PhD in Computational Linguistics in Sorbonne University, Paris. My thesis is entitled "Production of Abridged Versions of Literary Texts: A Multilingual Approach".
In parallel, I am working full-time as a developer/academic researcher in the Catholic University of Louvain, Belgium on project CATS, which aims to aid university students with the acquisition of ESP vocabulary by providing authentic contexts of use derived via NLP-based methods.
I have Master's degrees in Literature (University of Essex, UK) and Computing (Staffordshire University, UK), both completed with distinction. I have also completed a 2-year period of specialisation in NLP in Kyoto University, Japan, under the MEXT scholarship.
I enjoy travelling and learning foreign languages. I speak Bulgarian (native), English (C2/near-native), French (C2), Spanish (B2), Italian (B2), Russian (B1), Japanese (B1), Hebrew (A2), Greek (A2) and Old Church Slavonic (A2).
