About: 

I am Teaching Associate for Experimental Psychology, Statistics and Research Design, Department of Psychology, º£½ÇÉçÇø, and Affiliated Lecturer in Theoretical and Applied Linguistics, MMLL, º£½ÇÉçÇø. 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).

Teaching interests: 

Statistics, Data Analysis, Psycholinguistics, Neurolinguistics, Phonetics/Phonology/Morphology

Research interests: 

Speech perception and processing; predictive processing; speech prosody; language disorders; dyslexia; lexical processing; morphology

Recent research projects: 

Neural encoding of AI-generated speech prosody by L1 and L2 speakers (ProsodAI)

Speech Perception through Masks in School Contexts (PerMaSC)
