Mihaela Vela is a Senior Lecturer at the Department of Language Science and Technology at Saarland University. Her research focuses on machine translation evaluation, post-editing strategies, and translation technologies. Prior to her academic role, she worked as a researcher at the Language Technology Lab of DFKI (2007–2011), contributing to projects like ontology schema extraction from financial news. She holds a PhD in Computational Linguistics (2011) from Saarland University, supervised by Hans Uszkoreit and Thierry Declerck, and a Licentiate degree in Linguistics from West University of Timisoara. Her teaching portfolio includes courses such as Translation and Content Management , Applied Language Technologies , and Machine Translation , reflecting her expertise in integrating computational methods with translation practice. She has developed tools like TeLeMaCo (a collaborative teaching repository) and Catalog (a post-editing interface). Her work emphasizes improving translation workflows through better CAT tool design, metadata preservation, and cognitive load analysis in post-editing tasks. Key contributions include the SubCo corpus of learner translations and studies on post-editing effort in low-resource languages. Her research bridges theoretical linguistics with practical applications, addressing challenges in legal text classification, parliamentary discourse analysis, and neural post-editing systems.
