He started teaching technical translation at Université Paris Diderot in 1992, where he went on to become an associate professor in 2003, and later a professor in translation studies since 2014.

After a Ph-D in American literature (on the novels of Thomas Pynchon, 1995), he directed his research toward the concrete modalities of pragmatic translation, which led him to write about forty articles and a book, Les Noces de l'analogique et du numérique – De la traduction pragmatique (Belles lettres, 2013). In 2007, he also founded the Field Grown Translation Studies (Traductologie de plein champ) conferences, whose aim is to bring together professional translators, trainers, researchers and students, on translation-releated topics of common interest (the three last installments have been organized jointly with Christian Balliu, at ISTI/Brussels, and Lance Hewson at FTI/University of Geneva). He is also co-director of the Center for Translation Studies (CET, at Institut des humanités de Paris), vice-president (and former premsident) of AFFUMT (the French association for university training in translation). In 2019, he was elected as member of the EMT (European Master’s in Translaion) board.
