Iván Arias Arias

Iván Arias Arias (Palas de Rei, 1998) graduated in Modern Languages and Literatures (German) at the University of Santiago de Compostela. He did his undergraduate internship at the Galician Terminology Service (TERMIGAL) of the Ramón Piñeiro Centre for Research in Humanities. Afterwards, he studied the Erasmus Mundus European Master in Lexicography at the University of Minho (Braga), concluding also a semester at the Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg. During his Master's degree, he enjoyed two research stays at the Institute for German Language (Leibniz-Institut für Deutsche Sprache, Mannheim).

Currently, he is working on his PhD thesis at the University of Santiago de Compostela under the supervision of Prof. Dr. María José Domínguez Vázquez. For its realization, he benefits from a contract for pre-doctoral fellows financed by the Ministry of Universities (FPU21/00188). His thesis, entitled Design and development of a (semi)automatic semantic annotation system for German corpora, deals with the implementation of computational applications using statistical-predictive methods to analyse the lexicon of several languages, especially German and Galician.

Throughout his academic career, he has participated in two research projects. The former is a European project, LexVoc - Vocabulary of Lexicographic Terms (funded by ELEXIS), aimed to translate into Galician a series of terms in the field of metalexicography (directed by Prof. Dr. María José Domínguez Vázquez and coordinated by Prof. Dr. Simon Krek). The latter is the project Automatic and sustainable multilingual semantic tagger (ESMAS-ES+), funded by Ministry of Science and Innovation/State Research Agency/FEDER “A way to make Europe” (Project PID2022-137170OB-I00) and coordinated by Prof. Dr. María José Domínguez Vázquez.
