Isabel Lacruz is Professor of Spanish, Spanish Translation, and Translation Studies. She holds a PhD in Experimental Psychology (Cognitive) from ���ϳԹ��� and has professional experience as a translator and community interpreter. She conducts experimental research into the mental processes involved in translation, including post-editing of machine translated text. She has published several peer-reviewed empirical and theoretical papers investigating the cognitive basis of the translation process.
