Dr. Anna Maria Di Sciullo is Director of the Interface Asymmetry Lab and Professor at the Department of Linguistics of the University of Quebec in Montreal. Her areas of research are Theoretical Linguistics, Computational Linguistics and Biolinguistics. Since 1998, she has directed Major Collaborative Research Initiatives on natural language asymmetries, highly funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada and by the Fonds de recherche du Québec. Dr. Anna Maria Di Sciullo's contributions to Theoretical Linguistics are centered on asymmetry as a cornerstone of the Language Faculty. Her research on the asymmetry of morphological relations provides a further understanding of the regularity of form and interpretation in word structure. Her publications include two MIT Press books on the centrality of asymmetrical relations in morpho-syntax.Her work in Computational Linguistics led to the formulation of the Asymmetry Recovering Parser, generating deterministic parses for linguistic expressions. She also developed a search engine sensitive to asymmetric relations, as well as a semantic mining system based on syntactic asymmetries and semantic compositionality.Her contributions to Biolinguistics target the sensitivity of the human brain to morpho-syntactic asymmetries as well as the role of experience on morpho-syntactic variation. In addition to her publications in Brain and Language and BMC Evolutionary Biology, she published in 2017 four volumes on Biolinguistics, Critical concepts in Linguistics covering major contributions in the field.In 2004 she founded the Federation on Natural Language Processing, bringing together main actors in the area of theoretical linguistics, computational linguistics and information technology, in 2007 she founded the International Network on Biolinguistics bridging Biology, Linguistics and Computer Sciences. She has received numerous distinctions and awards, including the following. She has been elected Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 1999, recipient of the Research Award of the Board of Directors of the University of Quebec in 2001, visiting scholar positions at Harvard and MIT in 2012, recipient of the André Laurendeau award in Human Sciences in 2016, and recently nominated for the Governor General of Canada innovation award.

My research began as an investigation of neural computing for pattern recognition and data mining, and progressed into the field of cognitive science and AI in inclusive education. My specific research areas include diagnostic feedback in virtual learning environments, inclusive highly skilled employment, and neural computing for data mining. Throughout my career I have promoted the links between universities, employers and industry, and have been the academic lead on many collaborative projects, including knowledge transfer projects, two of which were judged ‘outstanding’ by the Technology Strategy Board/ Innovate UK. I have supervised 18 PhD students, who are now professors, academics and leading researchers in industry. I was the Editor of the Elsevier journal Trends in Cognitive Sciences for two years and have published circa 100 research articles. My international business development leadership experience includes the establishment of the first UK degrees to be delivered in Nepal, where London Metropolitan University now has around 2000 students. As pro vice chancellor at London Metropolitan University I led the initiative, involving 1000s of students and 100 or so courses, to introduce work related learning to all undergraduate degrees across the university, and oversaw the increase of highly skilled employment to 80%, and overall employment to 96.7% in a student population that is predominantly areas of deprivation with no family history of higher education. I also led on research and enterprise at London Met, including chairing the 2014 REF submission which led to the university climbing 11 places in the GPA REF rankings; and the enterprise strategy which included the Accelerator incubator which houses 30 technology start-ups and helps them to raise £ms of investment. My work as PVC at London Metropolitan was cited by the then vice chancellor as a ‘spectacularly successful focus on graduate employment led by Professor Dominic Palmer-Brown’ in ‘A University Turnaround: Adaptive Leadership at London Metropolitan University, 2014 to 2018 John Raftery HEPI
