I am a researcher working on early-Soviet and modernist Anglo-American literatures in their cultural, scientific, and biomedical contexts. I am currently writing a monograph titled Viktor Shklovsky's Involuntary Modernism: Writing and Other Bodily Functions (under contract with Bloomsbury Academic).

I am based in Stockholm, with my project "Revolutionary Diets: Famine, Science, and Literature in Early Soviet Russia" being funded by The Swedish Research Council. In 2025 I will start work on new my project "Experimental Animals: Non-Human Agency in Early-Soviet Film, Literature and Theory" supported by a grant from the Baltic Sea Foundation (Sweden).

I earned my doctorate at the University of Manchester and have been a postdoctoral fellow at the New Europe College in Bucharest, Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, and Center for Advanced Studies in Sofia. I was also employed as a Marie Skłodowska-Curie research fellow at the University of Warsaw.

My work has been published in edited collections and journals Poetics Today, Transcultural Studies, Comparative Critical Studies, and NLO. Most recently my article, "The Chaplin Vaccine: Immunization and Taylorism in Viktor Shklovsky’s Theory and Fiction" was published in Modernism/modernity. Among my forthcoming articles is "The Nuclear Poetics of Early-Soviet Sci-Fi Gothic: Lessons in Loving the Bomb in Ilya Ehrenburg’s Catastrophe Novels" which will appear in Atomic Horror: Fears of Nuclear Power in Gothic Literature, Film And Media (Palgrave Macmillan).
