Annette McElligott

Annette McElligott is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science & Information Systems at the University of Limerick. Her work spans digital health transformation, eHealth systems, natural language processing (NLP), and cognitive styles in computer science education. She has contributed to multilingual ontology development, technical text analysis, and Irish-English language technology.

Her research interests include systemic digital change in healthcare, the adoption of ePrescribing in primary care, and cognitive assessment of computer systems students. She has pioneered interactive approaches to multilingual concept ontologies and explored distributed representations for cross-lingual lexical analysis.

Her publications range from foundational NLP work in the 1990s (e.g., software manual parsing using link parsers) to recent studies on digital health education programs. She has collaborated on projects involving the Princeton WordNet extension, industrial parsing frameworks, and Irish language computational tools.

No scientific awards or active grants are explicitly listed in the provided materials. Her advising record remains unreported here. She maintains a focus on bridging technical communication, healthcare informatics, and language technology through interdisciplinary approaches.
