About
I have joined English Language Institute (ELI) at University of Michigan (U-M) as a Lecturer III in August 2022. I mainly teach academic writing and research writing courses to international graduate students and have also served as a consultant for the Graduate Writing and Speaking Clinics.
I believe that teaching and research go hand in hand. My research interests revolve around discourse analysis of academic and occupational genres taking both ESP (English for Specific Purposes) and multimodal analysis approaches. I am particularly interested in the multimodal discourse analysis of the recently developed digital genres for the specific purpose of communicating science to a wider audience. My primary aims are advancing graduate students’ knowledge of the new research disseminating genres as well as the use of popularization strategies to make their research findings more accessible especially in STEM fields.
