Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSelja Seppälä is a lecturer in Business Analytics at University College Cork with nine years of research and teaching experience focused on NLP, terminology, and applied ontology. Her interdisciplinary work bridges corpus linguistics, ontology mapping and versioning, and lexico-semantic resource alignment to automate processing of domain-specific texts—particularly legal documents—to support regulatory compliance in the financial sector. She has a strong track record of postdoctoral and research fellow roles across Europe and the US, including an MSCA Career-FIT fellowship, and brings hands-on experience developing annotated datasets and methods that feed practical information systems. Unusually for an NLP researcher, her background as a professional translator and terminologist informs a concrete focus on automated definition writing and tooling for terminologists, ontologists and domain experts.
