Welcome
This site is a strange way of introducing myself and it is always under development.
I have been working as a computational linguist at the DFKI in Saarbrücken (Germany) and the OFAI in Vienna (Austria). I am now in Madrid (Spain) at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid as associate professor at the Department of Linguistics, and as researcher at the Computational Linguistics Research Center (LLI-UAM) and the Instituto de Ingeniería del Conocimiento (IIC). I am Associate Dean for Information Technology at the Facultad de Filosofía y letras, and webmaster and community manager of the Department of Spanish as a Second Language of the Universidad Internacional Menéndez Pelayo (Madrid/Santander).
