Glyn V. Morrill

Glyn V. Morrill is a full Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. His academic career includes habilitation as a catedrático (full professor) by ANECA and receipt of the ICREA Acadèmia 2012 award. He specializes in the intersection of computational linguistics, formal logic, and digital humanities, focusing on type logical grammar and the displacement calculus.

Education: BA (Cambridge), MSc and PhD (University of Edinburgh). Research emphasizes computational environments for analyzing language syntax and semantics using logical frameworks. Notable contributions include the CatLog3 parser/theorem-prover and foundational work on Lambek calculus extensions. He has supervised PhD students such as Inés Corbalán, Carles Cardó, and Oriol Valentín.

Recent research trends involve parsing algorithms for discontinuous grammatical structures, formal semantics integration, and computational coverage of logical grammars. His work bridges theoretical linguistics with practical computational tools, advancing automated analysis of language phenomena.

Awards: ICREA Acadèmia 2012 (highlighted in Scientific Awards section). Active in academic leadership, including organizing Formal Grammar conferences and co-editing volumes in computational linguistics.
