I joined the European Academy of Bolzano/Bozen in October 2004. I am working as a junior researcher in the field of Computational Linguistics. I am currently organising the "Lesser Used Languages and Computer Linguistics II" Colloquium. Further I am involved with the projects bistro and LexALP (concluded) and I am working on a dissertation project on the "User needs concerning corpus querying environments".
