I am a Permanent Researcher (tenured) at IXA Group, part of the HiTZ Centre of the University of the Basque Country UPV/EHU, where I am head of the Text Analysis unit. I got a PhD in Computer Science at City, University of London (2007), and I have since been working on Natural Language Processing at several British and Spanish institutions, including a two year stint at the industry as research project director. I have been involved as PI or collaborator in more than 40 research projects funded by the European Commission, UK research councils, Spanish Ministry of Science and Basque Goverment and published in the major journals (Computational Linguistics, Artificial Intelligence, etc.) and conferences (ACL, EMNLP, EACL, IJCAI, etc.) related to Artificial Intelligence and Natural Language Processing. Currently my research is focused on Computational Semantics, Information Extraction and Text Generation, with a strong focus on multilingual and cross-lingual approaches using Large Language Models.
