Chara Tsoukala was born in Athens, Greece. She studied Computer Science in Athens, with an exchange semester in Darmstadt, Germany, and she got a Master's degree in "Human-Machine Communication'' from the University of Groningen, the Netherlands. For her MSc thesis she moved to Edinburgh, U.K., to work with the Statistical Machine Translation group on Interactive Translation Prediction, namely a tool for translators. She also worked there as a research assistant for the EU project CASMACAT (Cognitive Analysis and Statistical Methods for Advanced Computer Aided Translation) and was later employed at a startup in Lisbon, Portugal, that provides translations using crowd-sourcing techniques. Through translation she got interested in code-switching and the way multilinguals control their languages. To investigate the cognitive aspects of code-switching, she pursued a PhD at Radboud University, NL. During her time there, she developed a computational cognitive model of bilingual sentence production and code-switching.
