Senior🎓
Top SchoolFernando Manchego is a lecturer in Natural Language Processing at Cardiff University with 11 years of research and teaching experience spanning text simplification, readability assessment, evaluation of NLG, and NLP for education. He completed a PhD on sentence simplification and has applied his expertise in roles from research associate on machine translation quality estimation to an applied scientist internship at Amazon working on multitask entity linking. Comfortable bridging academia and applied research, he has supervised student projects that led to conference publications and contributed to multilingual SRL and semantic parsing efforts during international research visits. Based in Cardiff, he combines rigorous evaluation-driven methods with practical systems thinking to improve writing assistance and accessible text, and often focuses on metrics and human-centered evaluation that are less visible in typical NLP profiles.
