Ana Fernández-Pampillón Cesteros is Lecturer and Researcher in the Faculty of Philology at the Universidad Complutense of Madrid (UCM). From 1994 to 2000 she lectured in Computer Sciences at the Colegio Universitario de Segovia (UCM). From 1993 to 2009 she tutored in Computing Sciences at the Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED). Since 1996, she has been Lecturer and Researcher in Computational Linguistics at the Universidad Complutense of Madrid (UCM).

As a researcher Ana Fernández-Pampillón Cesteros has participated in projects related to e-learning, b-learning, educational innovation and computational linguistics. Her main areas of research are computational lexicography (dictionaries, glossaries, thesauri and ontologies) and its application to virtual education (e-learning, semantic web and LMS). She is, currently, working on the development of new features for the "OdA" Digital Object Repository Tool, building Learning Object Repositories and Scholar Virtual Museums, and on the development of a Model for Quality Assessment of Digital Learning Materials.

Ana Fernández–Pampillón Cesteros was IT Teaching Support Faculty from July 2003 until December 2006 in the Office of Campus Virtual UCM (http://campusvirtual.ucm.es), where she worked in Campus Virtual's design, management and organisation, especially in educational aspects: coordination, teacher education in e-learning, educational ICT, learning space design, application and diffusion of standards that allow educational reusability of materials, contents and strategies in the CV-UCM. From March 2007 to July 2012 she was member of the Campus Virtual Advisory Board. From March 2007 to July 2014 she has been Vice Dean of Applied Technologies in Filology at the Universidad Complutense of Madrid (UCM). Currently, she is member of the UCM Educational Technology Committee, and also member of AENOR (Spanish Association for standardization) in the Technical Committee of Information Technology AEN 71, Subcommittee SC 36 (e-learning) where she is coordinating the Working Subgroup AEN 71/SC36/GT 12 working on a new standard for Measuring the Quality of Digital Educational Materials (PNE 71362).

As a researcher, she has worked on 21 R+D+i projects, of which she has directed 3, co-edited 5 books and co-authored 14 others, authored and co-authored 18 indexed articles (SCOPUS) and 35 conference papers. She has been responsible for the organisation of numerous R+D+i activities and has been a member of scientific committees of conferences, journals, R+D projects and training activities related to teaching and learning in virtual environments, educational innovation and computational linguistics. His research has focused on Computational Lexicography and Corpus Linguistics as well as Educational Technology (e-learning, virtual campuses, educational repositories and quality of learning and digital educational materials). He is a member of the UCM research group ‘Ingeniería de Lenguajes Software y Aplicaciones (ILSA)’ (group no. 962022). He is currently working on the detection of automatically generated texts in the framework of the ROBOT-TALK project (PID2022-140897OB-I00) which he co-directs. He has supervised two doctoral theses and is currently supervising four in the PhD programme in Theoretical and Applied Linguistics. He has three recognised six-year research periods, and has been awarded an extraordinary PhD prize.
