• Current affiliation: University of Gothenburg
• Academic rank: Senior Lecturer
• Research focus: Language learning, linguistics, digital education

Research Interests include cognitive aspects of bilingualism and multilingualism, language processing mechanisms, and digital media's role in language instruction. She investigates interaction patterns in text-based student chats (CMCL) and explores imitation strategies for lexical/morphological/syntactic learning. Recent projects analyze ChatGPT's application for developing linguistic awareness and syntactic complexity in student writing.

Teaching encompasses German grammar, linguistics, and language didactics at basic and advanced levels, with supervision of bachelor's and master's theses. She also serves as assistant supervisor for a doctoral student in English.

Publishing Trends reflect her work in three key areas: (1) multilingual education and cognitive processes in language learning, (2) digital language learning (CMCL) focusing on interaction patterns, and (3) writing instruction innovations including AI-generated model texts and feedback mechanisms.

Projects include the Erasmus+ initiative 'E-LearnScene' (2020-2023) and coordination of the 'Written production and interaction' module for Sweden's National Agency for Education. Her research combines empirical studies with educational technology integration.
