I am Teaching Associate for Experimental Psychology, Statistics and Research Design, Department of Psychology, Cambridge, and Affiliated Lecturer in Theoretical and Applied Linguistics, MMLL, Cambridge. I specialize in experimental research on language and cognition using a variety of behavioural paradigms, magnetoencephalographic (MEG) and electroencephalographic (EEG) data.
I currently pursue three lines of research: 1) Lexical processing (incl. word morphology and individual differences); 2) Predictive processing at the sentence level (and factors modulating this process); 3) Prosodic cues to speech sampling of continuous speech (among diverse populations, incl. bilinguals and individuals with developmental dyslexia).
