University Education
Choosing an education was fairly easy, as I knew it had to involve foreign languages. Being equally fascinated by computers, I decided to combine these two fields and chose what was a fairly new programme at the time: the BSc degree in Computational Linguistics and Modern Languages (German/Spanish) at UMIST (University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology), where I graduated with Honours in July 1992.
Year Abroad
The four-year course included a year at the Technical University of Berlin, where I worked as a student assistant on the EU-funded machine translation project EUROTRA. Focus: Anaphoric Interpretation in Machine Translation.
