I am a Linguist and Associate Professor at the Department of English and German Studies (University of Zaragoza), where I teach courses on the Pragmatics of Communication, academic English, English phonetics & phonology, and English grammar. My research has focused mainly on the analysis of rhetorical, discursive and linguistic features of academic genres and on the exploration of academic writing & speaking by multilingual scholars. My current research centers on the analysis of digital genres for science communication and dissemination, particularly how academic knowledge is recontextualized in digital genres to reach diversified audiences.

Research keywords:

• genre analysis
• digital discourse analysis
