Publications and research
Research
My research focuses on structured, multilingual, and robust NLP. I work on efficient modeling approaches, cross-lingual transfer, and rigorous evaluation of language models. I have first-authored 8 papers at top NLP venues.
PhD thesis: "Encoding, Representation, and Interpretation of Linguistic Structure Across NLP Paradigms". University of A Coruña thesis record.
My work on linguistic patterns in human and LLM-generated news text was cited in The Guardian.
