Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolElena Mellado is an Assistant Professor and computational linguist with nine years of experience building rule-based and machine learning solutions for morphology, lemmatization, corpus creation, language detection and sentiment analysis. She blends academic research—PhD in NLP and postdoctoral work at UNED—with applied projects at institutions like USC ISI, McLean/Harvard, and Fundéu BBVA, where she led the Aracne corpus project tracking a century of lexical change in Spanish. A seasoned Prolog developer and rule-engine designer, she has implemented morphological analyzers for Spanish and Latin and contributes regularly to public outreach through a prize-winning column, radio segments, a divulgation book and advisory roles at Archiletras. Elena’s work connects rigorous computational methods with clear public communication, reflecting her belief that linguistics should leave the ivory tower. Based in Madrid, she combines multilingual training from Brandeis and Université Paris Cité with hands-on data science for medical and historical texts, an uncommon mix that informs both her research and public-facing writing.
