Enrica Troiano receives the GSCL Award for her dissertation with the title "Where are emotions in text? A human-based and computational investigation of emotion recognition and generation." Dr Troiano defended her thesis in 2023 at the University of Stuttgart as part of Roman Klinger's research group which moved to Bamberg, and has been advised by Roman Klinger with cosupervision by Sebastian Padó from the University of Stuttgart and Kai Sassenberg from the Leibnitz Institute of Psychology. The thesis investigates textual representations of emotions as a central aspect of (human) communication and combines theories from psychology with computational linguistics.

Dr Troiano studied cognitive sciences in Trento and defended her PhD thesis at the University of Stuttgart. After that, she joined the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam as a postdoctoral researcher.

The GSCL (Gesellschaft für Sprachtechnologie nd Computerlinguistik) is the main society of computational linguistics in Germany. They award one PhD thesis every two years which brought the field forward significantly.
