Dora Alexopoulou is a Senior Research Associate at DTAL, leading the Education First Unit at the University of Cambridge, launched in February 2010 to promote research in second language learning of English and innovation in language teaching through a systematic cross-fertilisation between linguistic research and teaching techniques.
After a BA in Greek philology at the University of Athens, she went to Edinburgh to obtain an MSc in Natural Language and Speech Processing and then a PhD in Linguistics. Before coming to Cambridge she worked at the Universities of Edinburgh and York and held an Intra-European Marie Curie Fellowship at the University of Lille III.
