I am Associate Professor in Applied Linguistics at NTNU. My research interests are primarily within language acquisition and language use from a usage-based / cognitive linguistic perspective. I am interested in communicative challenges in different social and institutional contexts. Currently I am focusing on science communication from a cognitive linguistic perspective, in collaboration with the Red Hen Lab™. I received my PhD in Applied Linguistics from the University of Groningen under the supervision of Prof. Kees de Bot and Prof. Marjolin Verspoor. Before joining NTNU in 2017 I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at MultiLing, a multidisciplinary research Centre of Excellence at the University of Oslo.

I currently teach scientific communication at PhD level (HFEL8000 Communicating Science, Workspace for Publishing and Outreach, Erasmus+ Training the mindSET) and at Master level (SPRÅK3501 Scientific communication for engineers, MSKIP). I supervise PhD and Master projects within Applied Linguistics.

Academic interests: language acquisition, Cognitive Linguistics, usage-based linguistics, science communication, academic writing, English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI), TESOL/TEFL
