Irina Saparina Passes PhD Viva at Edinburgh

Irina Saparina posted that she passed her viva. She thanked examiners Adam Lopez and Madelon Hulsebos plus supervisor Mirella Lapata for their roles. Saparina described her time among the people at EdinburghNLP as fortunate. She added that she is now at Cohere with another strong team on code generation work. The announcement arrived a bit late. An attached photo shows her smiling in a classroom beside a projector screen with a laptop nearby. The post stands as her direct statement on the milestone.
