Research Interests: Susana specializes in Named Entity Recognition (NER), generative language models, and machine translation, with a focus on minoritized languages like Galician and Portuguese. Her projects include creating gold-standard corpora for cultural analysis and tourism, developing open-source generative models for Galician-Portuguese, and analyzing far-right political movements in Iberia using computational methods.

Publications & Trends: Her work spans computational linguistics, political science, and digital humanities. Recent contributions include interdisciplinary studies combining large language models with historical institutionalism, alongside technical advancements in NER systems and continual pretraining for multilingual NLP.

Thesis: In her 2024 doctoral thesis, she explored NLP-based analysis of cultural narratives about Santiago de Compostela, emphasizing how collective perceptions shape tourism practices.

Labs & Teams: She collaborates with the S3 Laboratory and contributes to projects involving Pablo Gamallo, José Ramón Pichel, and other researchers in language technologies.
