Biography
I am currently Professor and Head of the Department of Linguistics at Macquarie University. I teach audiovisual translation and media accessibility at Master's level and supervise students in the fields of audiovisual translation as well as cognitive translation studies, with a particular interest in studies that investigate the reception of multimodal texts using eye tracking.
Biography
My research uses eye tracking experiments combined with psychometric instruments and performance measures to investigate the processing of language in multimodal contexts. I am particularly interested in the processing of text (reading) when it has to compete for cognitive resources with auditory and visual information (such as reading subtitles in film). My current work looks at the impact of such redundant sources of information on the reading of subtitles at different presentation rates and in the presence of different languages. My main collaborators are Prof Erik Reichle, Dr Stephen Doherty, and Dr Lili Yu.
