I studied applied linguistics and translation at the University of Antwerp (Dutch, French, German, English), graduating in 2014. During my Master's, I became interested in translation technology and wrote my thesis on automatic term extraction.

I worked as a research assistant at University of Antwerp (2014-2015) before joining Ghent University's Language and Translation Technology Team (LT³) in 2015. I completed my PhD there in 2021 under supervision of Els Lefever and Véronique Hoste, followed by a postdoctoral year.

I was an Assistant Professor at KU Leuven (2022-2024) before being invited to apply for a position in Montreal, where I had spent a 3-month research stay in 2018 collaborating with Patrick Drouin. I joined Université de Montréal as assistant professor in July 2024.
