Short presentation
Post-doctoral researcher with a special interest in semantics and pragmatics. Affiliated at KU Leuven. My research is related to areas like modality, (inter)subjectivity and grammaticalization, and in my current project I examine how verbs with a similar meaning compete and interact with each other.
I am highly interested in pedagogical issues and I have been responsible for projects on student mentorship and peer observation of teaching.
Experience of campus and online teaching and supervision.
