From 2012 to 2022, I taught various courses at Russian State Universities for the Humanities (Moscow, Russia) and National Research University Higher School of Economics (Moscow, Russia). These included Introduction to Linguistics, Corpus Linguistics, and Sociolinguistics.

Since 2008, I have been teaching vocational courses in linguistics to high school students and organizing competitions in linguistics for high school students, including International Linguistics Olympiad.

I have also been actively promoting linguistics to a broader Russian-speaking audience. A seleсtion of my talks on various topics can be found on Postnauka or on YouTube.

My primary areas of interest are corpus linguistics and various aspects of Russian grammar, including diachronic variation, construction grammar, and accentology.

Currently I am also a part of the project Reading Concordances in the 21^st Century, which is conducted jointly by the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen Nuremberg (FAU) and the University of Birmingham.
