I am currently an Associate Professor at National Research Tomsk Polytechnic University, Core Engineering School, Division for Foreign Languages, Tomsk, Russia. I teach postgraduate students of different engineering profiles. My current research interests include the discourse analysis of academic engineering genres, cognitive- and neurolinguistics, academic writing, second language acquisition research, linguistic landscapes, curriculum development, student support, and faculty development. Within the second language acquisition, I am actively involved in the evaluation of academic scientific writing, and positioning in graduate student writing, English language for Specific and Academic Purposes. My researches are also oriented towards writing studies with a focus on peer learning and collaborative writing and the integration of language and content. In Neurolinguistics’ studies, I study the complex relationship between language and brain applying methods of neuroscience to language.
