Curriculum Vitae

Yolanda Xavier

I am currently a PhD candidate in Linguistics, specializing in Psycholinguistics, funded by the Portuguese Foundation for Science and Technology (FCT) PhD grant (2022.13977.BD), and an Integrated Researcher (pre-PhD) at the Research Center for Linguistics at NOVA University Lisbon. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Languages, Literatures and Cultures (English Studies) from the Faculty of Arts and Humanities at the University of Lisbon, and a Master’s degree in English Didactics, a joint program between NOVA FCSH and Aberta (Open) University. I have worked as an English teacher at several study centers in the Lisbon area, and as a technical translator from Portuguese and English into Russian. Additionally, I have taught Portuguese as a Foreign Language to Ukrainian students at the beginner level. My PhD research focuses on the effects of pronunciation on linguistic stereotyping. I am also interested in the contemporary development of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, and have already completed introductory training in these fields. Moreover, I have begun developing Natural Language Processing projects, which are available on my GitHub.
