She joined the ACDH-CH (then ACDH) in 2015, where she currently works as a senior scientist in the research unit DH Research&Infrastructure. There she was leading several projects (e.g. DYLENELEXISDYSEN). She initiated the creation of the ParlAT corpus and she is involved in the current ParlaMint project. At the moment, she is involved in the European research infrastructures CLARIN-ERICDARIAH-EU, and their Austrian counterpart CLARIAH-AT. She is also responsible for the ACDH-CH Tool Galleries.
