Research Focus
Cognitive Neuroscience of Language
Welcome
I am a PhD student specializing in Cognitive Neuroscience of Language. My PhD research investigates how the brain processes and represents relational structures in both linguistic and visual input, as well as how language input is encoded and stored in memory.
I use advanced electrophysiological methods, particularly frequency-tagging EEG, to understand the neural mechanisms underlying relational processing in language and vision and the role of relations in memory.
Before my PhD, I have also conducted research in second language acquisticon and speech perception and production
