Paul is Associate Professor
in Translation Studies and a Chinese-English translator based in Bristol
UK with over 19 years' professional experience. I graduated with
honours from Oxford University having studied Chinese and Tibetan for
four years, and earned a diploma in modern Chinese language from Peking
University.

Following my time at Oxford I spent several years both as a freelance
translator and as a private language and cultural tutor for individuals,
schools, and businesses in the South West of the UK. I also set up a
consultancy service for UK based organisations wanting help in
conducting business in China.

In 2008 I formalised my translation training by taking an MA in
Interpreting and Translation from the UN-certified programme at the
University of Bath, at which time I interned for the UNODC in Vienna as a
simultaneous interpreter.

Following my graduation from Bath in 2009, I continued my work as a
freelance translator through various agencies and private clients.

Since
2014 I have worked as Programme Director for the MA Chinese-English
Translation at University of Bristol, where am I am Associate Professor
in the Department of Translation and Interpreting Studies. 

I
trade as PGC Services and commission projects across a range of
language pairs. My personal work in recent years has focused primarily
on translation for clinical research, especially Phase II and III
transnational trials.
