I am an Assistant Lecturer in the Department of English and German Studies at the University of Zaragoza (Spain). I finished my PhD thesis in 2023, for which I was granted a competitive research fellowship financed by the Diputación General de Aragón (DGA). My thesis focused on the pragmatic strategies employed in research project websites and X/Twitter accounts as meaningful examples of scholarly digital practices endorsed by international scientific research groups for knowledge dissemination and online visibility.

As part of the InterGedi research group, my research interests revolve around the analysis of various digital practices targeted at transferring and disclosing expert discourse in a myriad of disciplines (e.g., climate, psychology, art). It is my interest to find out how issues of ‘trust’, ‘credibility’, ‘newsworthiness’, and ‘identity’ are orchestrated by experts online. Some of my latest research concerns digital practices like feature articles, Ask-an-Expert webpages and explainers. I undertake pragmatic, discursive and linguistic analyses from various perspectives and frameworks such as discourse analysis, metadiscourse, knowledge communication, multimodality, and ethnographic studies.
