Institute of Mathematics and informatics, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (1992-2008)
I started my career as a research assistant in the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (IMI-BAS) back in 1992. I grew to an Associate Professor (2001-2008) and served as the Founding Head of Department, Humanities Informatics with Digitisation Centre, October 2004—May 2008. The Centre was established with the support of a Marie Curie project I coordinated. This digitisation centre was the first professional one in the country and some institutions learned how to build their digitisation facilities collaborating with us.
