Currently, I am a Marie Skłodowska-Curie postdoctoral fellow at the UiT The Arctic University of Norway and an assistant professor in Psychology at the University of Santiago de Compostela. Previously, I held a postdoctoral research position (Margarita Salas fellowship, funded by the Spanish Ministry of Education) at the University of Santiago de Compostela and a substitute lecturer postition at the University of A Coruña. 

I hold a BA in Linguistics from the Siberian Federal University (Russia), an MA in Applied Linguistics from the University of A Coruña (Spain), and a PhD in Psychology from the University of A Coruña (Spain). During undergraduate studies, I was an Erasmus Mundus student at the University of Cádiz  (2013/2014, financed by the University of Cádiz and Banco Santander) and at the University of Granada (2014/2015, financed by the European Commission). After finishing my undergraduate studies, I obtained an MA in Applied Linguistics at the University of A Coruña (2016). My Master's thesis was focused on the acquisition of Russian as foreign language by Spanish-speaking learners. 

My PhD research, which was funded by a competitive grant from Consellería de Cultura, Educación e Ordenación Universitaria de la Xunta de Galicia (ED481A-2017/279), explored the acquisition of grammatical gender in Spanish and Russian-speaking children diagnosed with Developmental Language Disorder and was supervised by Profs. Miguel Pérez Pereira and Manuel Peralbo Uzquiano. In April 2021, this study was awarded the Guadalupe Aguado Research Award for Young Researchers by the The Spanish Association of Applied Linguistics (AESLA). I was also awarded Extraordinary PhD Award from the University of A Coruña. 

Currently, I'm working on the MAP project - Multilingual Acquisition and Processing where I study Heritage Russian in Spain. 

My research interests fall within the domains of first and second language acquisition, language processing, language disorders, bilingualism.
