He has previously taught at Durham University (2012-2020), University College London (2018-2019), and Goldsmiths College University of London (2020), as well as being an Honorary Research Fellow in Translation Studies at University College London (2020-2022). He has published a monograph (An Eye-Tracking Study of Equivalent Effect in Translation: The Reader Experience of Literary Style, 2021) and co-edited a collection on eye-tracking research in translation (Eye Tracking and Multidisciplinary Studies on Translation, co-edited with Professor Federico M.

This textbook provides a comprehensive overview of the processes, principles and constraints of project management in the translation industry. This is an essential textbook both for all project management courses within translation studies programmes and for professional translators and translation service providers.
