Welcome to my website!

I successfully completed a Ph.D. in the School of Computing at Dublin City University.

My main research interest is ICALL: Intelligent Computer-Assisted Language Learning. My further research interests comprise the integration of animation and the use of corpora in language learning software. Additionally, I am strongly interested in plurilingual teaching and learning of Romance languages. Last, but not least the development of intuitive e-learning applications and flexible language interfaces is of great interest to me.

From 2006 to mid-2008, I worked as an e-learning developer at the University of Nottingham (UK). My main task was to design, develop, implement and evaluate a web-based multimodal interactive language learning platform for all the 14 foreign languages offered at the university (European languages, Arabic, Japanese and Mandarin Chinese).

Since July 2008 I have been working as a software developer (for linguistic tools) at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in Nijmegen (Netherlands).
