Ann Alicia Copestake is professor of computational linguistics and head of the Department of Computer Science and Technology at the University of Cambridge [ 1] [ 2] [ 3] [ 4] and a fellow of Wolfson College, Cambridge .[ 5]
Education
Copestake was educated at the University of Cambridge where she was awarded a Bachelor of Arts degree in Natural Sciences . After two years working for Unilever Research she completed the Cambridge Diploma in Computer Science . She went on to study at the University of Sussex where she was awarded a PhD in 1992 for research on lexical semantics supervised by Gerald Gazdar .[ 6] [ 2]
Career and research
Copestake started doing research in Natural language processing and Computational Linguistics at the University of Cambridge in 1985.[ 2] Since then she has been a visiting researcher at Xerox PARC (1993/4) and the University of Stuttgart (1994/5). From July 1994 to October 2000 she worked at the Center for the Study of Language and Information (CSLI) at Stanford University , as a Senior Researcher.
