I am currently working mainly at the Norwegian Arctic University on a two-year postdoctoral fellowship funded by the Emil Aaltonen Foundation. My research interests include sociophonetics of the Kven language and Kven identity. I am also finalising publications related to the previous T&T&F project at the Learning, Age and Bilingualism laboratory at the University of Turku.

From 2022-2024, I worked as a postdoc in the Kone Foundation funded project Dance as a Window to Endangered Languages and the Phonetic World (T&T&F). The aim of the project was to collect speech material from local languages spoken in Namibia, and to study the phonetics of English spoken in Namibia.

I completed my PhD in Phonetics in November 2022. The topic of my dissertation is the use of listen and repeat training in the use of phonetic contrasts in a foreign language, with a particular focus on differences in phonetic durations. The work involved psychophysiological EEG measurements in addition to behavioural experiments and acoustic analysis of sounds.

In addition, I have participated in organizing several general workshops on phonetics and speech. The target groups have been in particular children and adolescents.

My research interests include the learning of foreign language phonemes, sociophonetics and the social aspects of language learning.

Between 2014 and 2019 I've planned and taught several different courses in Phonetics and General Linguistics at basic, intermediate and advanced levels. The courses included laboratory method workshops, basics of speech synthesis, workshops on training of second language speech acquisition and basics of experimental research, among others.
