I am a senior lecturer (PhD) in the Department of English and German Studies at the Universidad de Zaragoza (Spain), where I teach linguistics. My research interests focus on the exploration of Identity in medical RAs and their correspondent popularizations, genre analysis and written academic discourse. The results of my research on the self-representation of writers, academic discourse and genre analysis have been published in journals such as Miscelánea, Tropelías, Revista de Lenguas para Fines Específicos, Revista Canaria de Estudios Ingleses, PROFILE, CALL-EJ or Sendébar.  Some of my results from innovative teaching projects have been published in Arbor (CSIC) and Prensas Universitarias de Zaragoza. Currently, I am participating in the research group CIRES (International Communication and Social Challenges CIRES h16_17R). I have also led a research project on the role of English teaching and its influence on the internationalization of the Spanish Army during the Cold War.
