Linde Roels obtained a Master’s degree in Spanish and French Linguistics and Literary studies (2016) and the Degree of Teacher (2017), both at Ghent University. During the third year of her Bachelor's degree, she studied one semester at the University of Granada, Spain. In November 2017 she joined the department of Spanish Linguistics and started her doctoral research.

Her current PhD research, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Renata Enghels, focuses on intensification strategies in present-day Spanish and generally adopts a quantitative, sociolinguistic and multivariate perspective. She is particularly interested in patterns of recent language change in teenage talk. As to methodology, her research is mainly corpus-based and is conducted in a functional-cognitive perspective. She presented her research at several (inter)national conferences.

As a student, she participated in the COSER-project (http://www.corpusrural.es/), taking part in the dialectological fieldwork (campaign 2016, Tenerife) and the transcription of the collected data. She has also been collaborating in the development of an informal corpus of present-day spoken Spanish in Madrid (CORMA, UGent), led by Prof. Dr. Renata Enghels. The corpus is compiled in order to remedy the scarce documentation of 21st century colloquial Spanish. Together with her colleague Fien De Latte, her collaboration has involved taking part in the fieldwork (January and October 2019, two campaigns focussing especially on youth language), monitoring the transcription process of the recorded oral data (PRAAT) and digitalising the corpus (EXMARaLDA).
