Katerina Pastra is a tenure-track Senior Researcher at the Institute for Language and Speech Processing (ILSP), Athena Research Center, since 2020. She founded and directed for a decade-long (2010-2020) the Cognitive Systems Research Institute (CSRI), a highly interdisciplinary research organization focusing on multimodal cognition, embodied language processing and multisensory perception, the activities of which have now been integrated in ATHENA RC. Her research comprises theoretical contributions, experimental findings and technology development in semantics and cognition. In particular, she employs neuroscientific findings on how the human brain works to develop software that intelligent systems and cognitive robots need to understand natural language and correlate it to what they perceive/sense and what they do.
