PhD Candidate

Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC)

I am a final-year PhD student at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) in Barcelona and a member of the Language and Speech Technologies and Applications (TALP) research group and the Machine Translation group. My research focuses on approaches to neural machine translation that leverage unsupervised and continual learning methods. I am advised by Dr. Marta Ruiz Costa-jussà.

Apart from research, I teach classes and supervise MSc students. I am also a co-organizer of the Lifelong Learning for Machine Translation shared task (in 2020 and 2021) and the Similar Language Translation shared task (in 2020 and 2021) at the Conference on Machine Translation (WMT) co-located with EMNLP.
