Person Shaimaa Marzouk

Shaimaa Marzouk obtained her PhD degree in Translation Studies from the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, Germany after completing two Master’s degrees – majoring in Specialized Translation at the Johannes Gutenberg University and in IT Management at the Humboldt University in Berlin. Her Bachelor degree was in Banking from the Sadat Academy for Management Sciences, Cairo, Egypt. Moreover, she has worked as an IT consultant in the field of ERP systems at an international consulting company on projects in Spain and England. She is particularly interested in interdisciplinary topics that combine IT and translation research, which is why her research work focusses on the analysis of linguistic and functional usability using eye tracking and other techniques as well as the analysis of machine translation in the context of controlled language conducting corpus-based studies. In order to put her research into practice and at the same time gain valuable input for further research, Marzouk has recently established AUTHENTIC TRANSLATION (www.authentic-translation.de), a translation company that she herself manages.
