Biography

Hans Malmström conducts research at the intersection of applied linguistics and learning. His research is primarily concerned with aspects of language acquisition, especially academic disciplinary vocabulary in academic contexts where English is used as the medium of instruction. He explores how integration of communication and language potentially affects learning within a discipline. He is the Principal Investigator on ongoing research projects funded by the Swedish Research Council and STINT (the Swedish Foundation for International Cooperation in Research and Higher Education). Additionally, Hans is a Co-Investigator on a project regarding multilingual communicative competence funded by the Danish Research Council, leading a team of colleagues in Copenhagen. He serves as Series Editor, alongside Diane Pecorari from the University of Leeds, for the Routledge Studies in English Medium Instruction, and co-edits the Journal of English-Medium Instruction published by John Benjamins. In his teaching role, he coordinates integrated communication interventions in programs related to applied physics and applied mathematics and is currently supervising PhD students. Furthermore, he is the Deputy Head for Research and Graduate Education within the Department of Communication and Learning in Science at Chalmers University.
