Biography

I am currently working as a part-time, acting Professor of English with a specialisation in translation and interpreting at the University of Turku. In 2020, I worked as a developer of subtitling and translation for the Finnish public broadcaster Yle and the MeMAD research project (https://memad.eu/). Previously, I have worked as a Lecturer in Translation Studies at the University of Glasgow in Scotland, and in various roles at the University of Tampere, Finland. I also received my PhD in Translation Studies at the University of Tampere. Before my academic career, I worked as a freelance translator and subtitler for several years.

Research

My research interests focus on audiovisual translation and subtitling, particularly reception and audience studies, usability and user-centered translation, translators’ workplace studies, and multimodality.
