My research interests lie in the area of business communication and particularly in the investigation of linguistic, textual and pragmatic features of business genres. I have published on these topics and presented at many international conferences. I also supervise PhD theses in related areas across a range of languages, and have supervised several to completion.
I am an Associate Professor in Languages & Intercultural Studies. I graduated with a BA Hons Languages (Interpreting & Translating) from Heriot-Watt University, an MLitt from the University of St Andrews, and a PhD in Languages from Heriot-Watt University. I am a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
