His research focuses on Danish language evolution in diaspora communities, phonetic reduction phenomena, and documentation of the endangered Kalasha language of Pakistan. His academic credentials include: PhD in Linguistics (2006), University of Copenhagen MA in General Linguistics (1998), University of Copenhagen BA in General Linguistics (1993), University of Copenhagen Petersen's scholarly work spans heritage language dynamics, examining phonetic, morphological, and syntactic changes in Danish spoken by immigrant communities across the Americas. His investigations into phonetic reduction explore the spectrum between maximally expanded and extremely compressed speech forms, linking sound reduction to grammatical and pragmatic functions. The Kalasha language documentation project represents decades of fieldwork on this Indo-Aryan language's phonology, grammar, and cultural context. Recent publications (2024-2025) reveal concentrated research on heritage Danish varieties, with significant attention to grammatical gender systems, code-switching patterns, and phonetic innovations among diaspora speakers. These studies frequently employ corpus-based statistical methods and reflect international collaboration, particularly with Karoline Kühl of Hamburg. As an educator, Petersen supervises BA/MA projects across Danish linguistics domains. His research has received funding from the Carlsberg Foundation, A.P. Møller Foundation, and University of Copenhagen. Professional service includes editorial roles for NyS journal and treasurer position for the Linguistic Circle of Copenhagen.

Maryam Nourzaei is an Affiliated Researcher in Iranian Languages at the Department of Linguistics and Philology, Uppsala University. Her academic work centers on documenting endangered languages and cultural traditions in Iran, with particular focus on minority communities whose linguistic heritage is at risk of disappearing. She maintains active research collaborations across international academic networks and has established herself as a specialist in Iranian minority languages and oral traditions. Dr. Nourzaei's research spans across languages belonging to three different language families in Iran: Indo-Aryan (Jadgali), Dravidian (Brahui), and Iranian languages (Balochi dialects). Her work prioritizes documentation of highly endangered languages while simultaneously investigating complex language contact phenomena between Iranian and Indo-Aryan languages, as well as Iranian and Dravidian languages. She employs interdisciplinary methodologies that bridge linguistics with anthropology and ethnomusicology. Her scholarly output demonstrates a consistent focus on language documentation, particularly through corpus-based approaches to Balochi dialects (Koroshi, Coastal, Sistani) and other minority languages. A distinctive aspect of her research program involves the documentation of Afro-Baloch cultural practices, particularly lullabies (Mamabies) and healing rituals, which represents a unique contribution to the understanding of African diaspora communities in Iran. Her publications show increasing integration of linguistic analysis with ethnomusicological and anthropological perspectives. Dr. Nourzaei has produced an extensive body of work including monographs, journal articles, book chapters, and digital archives. Her research methodology emphasizes fieldwork-based documentation, often working directly with community members to record and analyze linguistic data and cultural practices. She has contributed significantly to the Online Atlas of the Languages of Iran project and maintains active documentation of endangered language varieties through systematic data collection and archiving.
