Luísa Coheur graduated in Applied Mathematics and Computation and has an M.Sc. degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering, both from Instituto Superior Técnico (IST). In 2004, she secured a dual degree Ph.D in Computer Science and Engineering (IST), and Linguistique, Logique et Informatique (Université Blaise-Pascal, France), in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP). In 2023, she completed a one-year postgraduate program in "Higher Education Pedagogy", offered by the Institute of Education at the University of Lisbon. She is an Associate Professor at the Department of Computer Science (Scientific Area of Artificial Intelligence) and a Researcher at INESC-ID, in the "Human Language Technologies" group. Her preferred research topics focus on Dialogue Systems, Question/Answering, and Machine Translation (including for Portuguese Sign Language), although she has worked in many other topics in NLP. She has supervised over 80 master's theses and 10 doctoral students. She was a member of the Management Committee of IST-Taguspark (20-23), being responsible for the beautiful library and pedagogical organization. She has participated in 18 projects, both national and international. She strongly believes that science should be in service to the public good, and she is currently developing, along with her amazing colleagues and students, a translator from Portuguese to the Portuguese Sign Language. She published more than 120 peer-reviewed articles, and has been recognized as an Excellent Professor more than 20 times according to a IST classification. In 2023, Luísa Coheur won the Outstanding Teaching Award from IST's Pedagogic Council. Luísa Coheur loves teaching and is passionate about good stories. Therefore, she introduces playful elements in teaching whenever they make sense (which is often). Virtual escape games and characters like Inspector Morcela and Karen help her convey knowledge in her classes. She won a pedagogical innovation project in 2019 with a physical "Escape Game" on the Taguspark campus (students had to solve subject-related challenges to "escape"). When she has time (unfortunately almost never), she writes. She has three books and two (non-scientific) short stories published, with two of them receiving awards.
