I am a lecturer at San Jorge University, where I teach different courses on English for Specific Purposes at the Faculty of Health Sciences and the School of Architecture and Technology, and general English at the Faculty of Communication and Social Sciences. My main research interests include science dissemination, scientific and academic communication, multimodality, emerging digital genres, and genre ecologies. In my PhD I conducted a genre analysis of video abstracts in the field of medicine and biology.
