SHORT BIO
I am a post-doctoral researcher at Harvard University, working in the Cognitive Neuropsychology lab under Alfonso Caramazza's supervision. In my research, I combine insights from monolingual and multilingual individuals, who process language through speech or sign, to inform an inclusive and comprehensive neurobiology of language. My research combines data from neuroimaging, computational and behavioral methods with theoretical insights from linguistics, psychology and neuroscience. Further, I take the most naturalistic approach possible to inform a theory that can not only account for laboratory based experiments but rather aims to capture the multifaceted and socially influenced experience of what it means to communicate in the real world.
I obtained my PhD from NYU, working in the Neuroscience of Language lab under Liina Pylkkänen's supervision.
