Assistant Professor, Department of Linguistics
I use psycholinguistic methods like neuroimaging, eye-tracking, and computational modeling to better understand how language develops, functions, and adapts in complex, real-world environments.
Interested in language research? In my lab, we ask how children learn the language(s) around them—that is, how and when do we acquire linguistic forms (sounds, signs, symbols) and their meanings (words, syntax, semantics)? We also study what makes language easier or harder to understand and produce (sometimes called sentence processing research) in various populations and ages.
