I am Professor of Translation Studies at the Faculty of Translation and Interpreting of the University of Geneva and Head of the German Unit. I teach audiovisual translation, research methods in translation studies, and translation theory. My research interests include interlingual subtitling and translation quality assurance. I am Editor-in-Chief of the translation studies journal Parallèles and co-founder of the book series Audiovisual Translation Studies, published by Frank & Timme. I hold a Diploma in Translation and an MA in Psychology from the University of Geneva, and a PhD in French Linguistics from the University of Stockholm. I have designed, taught and arranged numerous continuing professional development courses in translation quality assurance as well as in audiovisual translation. Until 2007, I also worked as a freelance subtitler, translator and translation reviser. My working languages are German, French, Swedish, and English. My most recent publications include a handbook on audiovisual translation as well as articles on subtitling from a workplace psychology perspective and on translation revision.
