Tamas Biro, April 2006

Presently, I am a postdoc researcher at the University of Amsterdam, with an NWO Veni grant. Until recently, I was a temporary lecturer (universitair docent 2) at the University of Groningen.

A note on my name, its pronouciation and orthography.

Born in Budapest, Hungary, on November 24, 1975, I studied physics, theoretical linguistics and Judaic studies at the Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest. For a detailed CV, click here.

I was a PhD student (AiO, Assistant in Opleiding, Research Assistant) at the department for Humanities Computing (old web site), Faculty of Arts, University of Groningen (RUG) in the Netherlands. My research project was related to BCN and to CLCG. The title of my project was: Implementation and machine learning for Optimality Theory. Here is an official description of it. This is an informal description of my research topic, strictly for non linguists!

Differerent descriptions of my current research project.

Download my dissertation (pdf, approx. 2 Mbyte), the "stellingen" (pdf, 21 kbyte), and summaries in English, Dutch and Hungarian.
