Dr Caiwen Wang
I am Senior Lecturer in Translation and Interpreting Studies. I hold a PhD in Pragmatics from Loughborough University, UK, and a Master degree in General Linguistics and Applied Linguistics (with Distinction) plus a Bachelor degree in English for Science and Technology, both from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, P.R. China. I was trained to be a translator and interpreter throughout my Bachelor and Masters study programmes while also trained in foreign language teaching. I am a Fellow of the UK Higher Education Academy.
I have been freelancing translation and interpreting for many years in addition to my academic work. I was also a distance-learning tutor for the Diploma in Translation (DipTrans) course of the Chartered Institute of Linguists for many years. My professional work furthermore includes teaching scientific/technical translation and Consecutive and Liaison Interpreting, as well as research and supervising PhD at UCL's Centre for Translation Studies (formerly housed at Imperial College).

My research interests are theoretical and empirical studies of translation and interpreting, and applied linguistics in general, and I have published in all the three areas in a number of leading journals.
