I am researching on longitudinal interactions between students from Japan and Sweden from a micro-analytic perspective, focusing on how English as a lingua franca is used to co-construct relationships and how language use changes overtime.

I am also a member of the ReMODEL project funded by the Swedish Research Council (2024-2026). We are investigating students' real-time listening comprehension in English as a Medium of Instruction university classes. https://www.su.se/english/research/research-projects/real-time-monitoring-of-dynamic-english-listening-remodel?open-collapse-boxes=research-project-members
