Educational background
Since septembre 2024 : PhD student in Translation Studies, ALTAE (formerly CLILLAC-ARP) laboratory, ED 660 Language Sciences. Under the supervision of Natalie Kübler and Guillaume Wisniewski. My research focuses on the LLM-assisted evaluation and annotation of specialised translation in pedagogical settings.
2023-2024 : Master’s programme in Specialised Languages, Corpus Linguistics and Translation Studies (Langues de spécialité, corpus et traductologie, LSCT), Université Paris-Cité
Master’s thesis (research) : « Articles scientifiques en TAL : Évaluation de traductions automatiques et de post-éditions produites par des spécialistes du domaine et des linguistes » (“NLP Research Papers: Evaluation of MT Outputs and Post-edits Produced by Domain Experts and Linguists”)
2021-2023 : Master’s programme in specialised translation, Université de Liège (German, English > French)
Master’s thesis : « Traduction automatique et marqueurs d’oralité : analyse à partir d’une corpus parallèle allemand-français » (“Machine Translation and Speech Markers: Analysis Based on a Parallel German-French Corpus”)
2018-2021 : Bachelor’s degree in translation and interpreting, Université de Liège (German, English > French)
