Nur Azwin Zulkarnain is a senior lecturer in the Department of English at the Faculty of Languages and Linguistics, Universiti Malaya. Her doctoral research explored the semantics of epistemic modality in scientific discourse, with a focus on how scientists convey (un)certainty regarding the Coronavirus. She has also conducted research on the communication of advice in the context of eating disorders, analysing the nuances of soliciting and giving advice on socially sensitive topics. Azwin's research interests lie in lexical semantics and pragmatics, particularly within scientific and healthcare discourses. Her work seeks to deepen the understanding of how language shapes meaning and influences communication in these specialised fields. She continues to pursue research that bridges linguistic theory with real-world applications in the domains of scientific writing and health communication. Azwin is committed to advancing the study of language in these contexts, aiming to contribute to more effective and empathetic communication practices. Her ongoing projects include examining the role of hedges in expressing uncertainty and exploring the impact of virtual empathy in teleconsultations.
