Qualifications

  • PhD
    University of Illinois, 2011
  • MA
    University of Illinois, 2009

Teaching and Supervision

Masters modules:

  • The Psychology of Language
  • (Bi)lingualism Research Methods.

Research Interests

I use computational modeling, along with behavoural and neurophysiological laboratory experiments and cognitive neuropsychological methods to reverse engineer the architectures and algorithms underlying language production.  Much of my current work focuses on word learning and word retrieval.  A second line of research considers the little voice that is supposed to be in your head: inner speech.

Postgraduate Project Opportunities

I am willing to supervise a PhD
