Hey!

I am Lisa, a post-doc at Technische Universität Berlin at the Quality and Usability Lab and BIFOLD and a guest researcher at DFKI GmbH, working closely with Philippe Thomas and Roland Roller.

I obtained my master’s degree at Universität Potsdam in Computational Linguistics (B.Sc. in Computational Linguistics, M.Sc. in Cognitive Systems). I then briefly worked as a software engineer before transitioning back to academia for a double degree PhD program (cotutelle) at TU Berlin and Université Paris-Saclay. I was supervised by Prof. Sebastian Möller and Pierre Zweigenbaum, Directeur de Recherche CNRS. My doctoral research focused on cross-lingual information extraction for the detection of adverse drug reactions. During that time, I spent one year at LISN in Orsay, France (2021 - 2022) and three months at the Social Computing Lab at NAIST in Nara, Japan (2023). In February 2024, I successfully defended my thesis at TU Berlin.
