Fernando Alva-Manchego

I am an NLP researcher and Lecturer (~Assistant Professor) at the School of Computer Science and Informatics at Cardiff University, and a member of the Cardiff NLP research group. My work focuses on text adaptation and readability: building systems that make language more accessible to different audiences, across different languages, and in real-world settings such as education, healthcare, and social care. Throughout, I prioritise human-centred evaluation and close collaboration with the practitioners and communities my tools are designed to serve.
