After her PhD, Ana was an FWO [Pegasus]2 Marie Skłodowska-Curie postdoctoral fellow at the department for comparative, historical and applied linguistics at KU Leuven and subsequently worked as an NLP and Deep Learning postdoctoral researcher on multi- and interdisciplinary projects at the KU Leuven Neuroscience Laboratory, on the Swiss Voices Project at the ETH Media Technology Centre and on the Stop Hate Speech Project (funded by InnoSuisse and BAKOM) at the Immigration Policy Lab at ETH Zurich and the Digital Democracy Lab at the University of Zurich. Ana’s research focuses on the workings of natural language und includes theoretical, applied, cognitive, neuro- and computational linguistics, sociolinguistics, syntax and semantics, which she approaches with the help of philological, linguistic, NLP and machine learning techniques. Her work has been published by international outlets like Cambridge University Press, Nature Scientific Reports and EMNLP.
