Background and Research Interests

I am a researcher at the Faculty of Translation and Interpretation, University of Geneva. I joined TIM/ISSCO in October 2012 to work as researcher and lecturer in the localisation field. I have obtained a PhD in localisation at the Localisation Research Centre (LRC), based in the department of Computer Sience and Information Systems at the University of Limerick, Ireland. My PhD research was conducted in association with the Centre for Next Generation Localisation (CNGL).
