Biography: 

Vicent Briva-Iglesias is Assistant Professor in Translation Studies at the School of Applied Languages and Intercultural Studies (SALIS) at Dublin City University (DCU). Prior to this, he completed a PhD on human-centered machine translation and human-computer interaction at DCU, an M.Sc. (Hons.) in Translation Technology at Universitat Aut貌noma de Barcelona (Spain), and a BA (Hons.) in Translation and Interpreting at Universitat Jaume I (Spain). Vicent's research areas are as follows:

  • State-of-the-art language technologies: machine translation, natural language processing, and human-centered artificial intelligence
  • Human-computer interaction (HCI): user experience, usability, user-MT interaction, and human-centered language technologies
  • Translation Studies: localisation, translation ethics, and specialized translation and interpreting (specifically in the legal and medical domains)

Vicent is a member of ADAPT, the Research Ireland Centre for AI-Driven Digital Content Technology, and has been funded by D-REAL, the Research Ireland Centre for Digitally-Enhanced Reality and the EU COST Action CA19102 - Language in the Human-Machine Era.
