Estival
My main field of research is Computational
Linguistics, or Natural Language Processing, that is
making computers understand and process human languages. I have worked at the interface
between academic and industry research, on projects ranging from formal
grammars development to machine translation tools or dialogue systems with
virtual advisors.
As a pilot and a linguist, I became interested
in the question of communication in aviation and
focussed my own research on Aviation English.
