Biography
I am a Research Fellow in Translation Technologies at the University of Surrey's Centre for Translation Studies (CTS). My background spans Audiovisual Translation (AVT), Interpreting, and Post-Editing. I hold a PhD in AVT from Queen's University Belfast (QUB) and an MTI in Translation and interpreting from Jilin University. Before joining Surrey, I was teaching Interpreting and Translation at QUB, and I engaged in freelance work as a translator and interpreter. These practical experiences have been instrumental in shaping my research direction and pedagogical approach. At present, my work is particularly oriented towards Post-Editing within the context of translation technologies. Additionally, I maintain a keen interest in accessibility, and I aim to explore how I can contribute to this crucial area to ensure a more inclusive and equitable digital environment for all.
