Currently working as a Researcher at the Department of Foreign Languages, Institute of Law and Philosophy, Russia Academy of Sciences (Ural Branch). In addition to teaching and providing linguistic support to my Russian colleagues, I am presently researching a number of topics in applied linguistics. In particular, I am interested in the question of rhythm (isochrony) in human language and other forms of signalling. Research and practical activities in this area include the translation and performance of songs and poems. I am currently researching similarities between such disparate isochronous signalling processes as rap music (in Russian and English), nightingale song and Russian Orthodox bell-ringing (kolokol'nïy zvon). Collaborative artistic projects, many of which overlap with my research interests, are carried out under the auspices of the Global Village Bard programme, which aims to "re-enchant the global village" through collaborative projects structured around the central activity of song and verse translation.
