Cecilia López Roig holds a degree in Philology (Anglo-Germanic Section) from the Universitat de València (1992) and a Ph.D. in Philology from the same university (2001). Her doctoral thesis, Aspectos de fraseología contrastiva (alemán-español) en el sistema y en el texto, supervised by Dr. Herbert J. Holzinger and Dr. Carlos Hernández Sacristán, received the grade of Outstanding cum laude unanimously and was published in 2002 by Peter Lang. Among other predoctoral scholarships, she received a scholarship from the Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdienst (DAAD), allowing her to undertake a research stay at the Universität Leipzig (1999). She has also completed research stays at the following universities: Universität Bremen (1993), Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz (1994, 1996), Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin (2006), Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (2009), and the Universität Wien (2010, 2013, 2023).

She began her teaching career in 1995 at the University of Valencia. Since 2003, she has been a Senior Lecturer in German Philology at the UV. Over more than twenty years of teaching, she has taught courses in German linguistics, including German Lexicology and Lexicography, German Word Formation, German Morphology, and a German Language Monographic Course where she taught German Phraseology. She has also taught courses geared toward German-Spanish Translation, as well as German language courses from levels A1 to C1 for Philology and Translation students. In the field of German for Specific Purposes, she has taught the course Business German for students in Economics and Business Administration for several years. From 1999 to 2021, she was a lecturer in the Master's in Secondary Education Teacher Training (German Specialty) at the University of Valencia, where she has supervised over thirty Master's Theses. Her recent contributions to the university community include the following: (1) Coordinator of the German Philology Area from 2009 to 2012; (2) Member of the Academic Degree Committee for the Bachelor's in Modern Languages and Literatures from 2018 to 2021; (3) Supervisor of external internships in German Philology from 2002 to 2012; (4) Specialist Professor for the German section of the University Entrance Exams (PAU) at the Universitat de València from 2016 to 2021; (5) Instructor of the University Extension Courses at the Universittat de València (Nau Gran) German for Traveling I and German for Traveling II from 2017 to 2021.

She began her primary line of research, German-Spanish Contrastive Phraseology, during her doctoral studies. This research line continues to this day. Her interest in German Language and Linguistics also led her to explore another research area related to German Lexicology, specifically German Word Formation. Her interest in bridging German language and literature motivated her to participate in research projects focused on the Study and Translation of Postdramatic German-speaking Women Playwrights. Due to her dedication to teaching and her efforts to integrate teaching and research, she also devotes part of her research to Methodology and Didactics of German as a Foreign Language.
