Biography
I received my PhD from the Max Planck Institute of Psycholinguistics in the Netherlands. I joined the lab as a post-doc in 2016 and am now a senior researcher. I use non-invasive neuroimaging techniques such as electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG), in combination with Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools, to study neural and computational mechanisms that support human language processing.
Lab: Neurocognition Laboratory
Advisor: Gina Kuperberg
Area of study: Language prediction, neural
Current Research: One line of my research involves decoding information from neural activity during language comprehension, and understanding how predictive coding principles explain the dynamics of neural activity. Another line of my research uses NLP tools to characterize speech from individuals with psychosis, and understand computational mechanisms underlying their language and communication impairments.
Future Plans: I plan to integrate neuroimaging, NLP, and machine learning tools to investigate how the human brain coordinates to encode multiple streams of information and its breakdown in atypical language processing (e.g., schizophrenia, autism).
