His main research interests are Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Machine Translation.
He is currently participating in the projects ILENIA (2022/TL22/00215335), DeepR3 (TED2021-130295B-C31), and TRAIN (PID2021-123988OB-C31).

He has experience in teaching at both undergraduate and master's level, within the LAP-EMLCT master's programme, and has tutored several final degree projects and master theses. Together with members of the IXA group, he has designed and developed several NLP and machine translation tools.
Recently, he has started working on sign language translation through participation in the SignON project of the European Commission (2020-2023). Following this line of research, she is currently co-IP of the TRAIN coordinating subproject. This project is dedicated to the translation of languages with very few resources and includes translation from Spanish Sign Language (LSE) to Spanish.
