My very first integration to the linguist field took place during my undergraduate studies (2003-2007) at the Department of
Mediterranean Studies/ Division of Linguistics, University of the Aegean in
Rhodes, Greece. I admit that from day one I had started searching for what
interests me the most. After a while, it was clear to me that neurolinguistics
and specifically, aphasia was a beloved area to me. In fact, I could attend classes with
real astonishment! Thus, I spent a year (2006-2007) at the University of
Konstanz, Germany as an Erasmus exchange student trying to discover as much as I could for the field. Subsequently, I attended the European Masters program of Clinical Linguistics (2007-2008) at the Universities of Groningen (The Netherlands) and Potsdam (Germany). During these years, I was lucky to get to know some brilliant minds, to whom I am grateful! Since May 2009, I am a PhD student working under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Spyridoula Varlokosta (University of Athens), Prof. Dr. Despoina Papadopoulou (Aristotle University of Thessaloniki) and Prof. Dr. Roelien Bastiaanse (University of Groningen, The Netherlands). The main focus of my research is on the assessment of sentence level disorders, both for production and comprehension, in Greek aphasia.
