This picture shows me carrying a mobile EEG lab for a study on Äiwoo in Solomon Islands.
I am cognitive scientist who studies how people process language in context, broadly construed, and how language shapes (and is shaped by) cognition and perception.
My main research interests are:
Linguistic diversity and language processing — how does grammatical diversity interact with the real-time, production and comprehension of language?
Incremental processing — how are sentences produced and comprehended incrementally, and how is this neurally implemented?
Event cognition — how does language influence how events (especially semantic roles) are processed and represented in our minds?
Child development — how do language processing and event cognition develop throughout childhood? and
Interactive language use — how is language processed and coordinated during social interaction?
Currently, I lead the research area "Cognitive and Developmental Neuroscience of Language" within the research unit "Developmental Psychology: Infancy and Childhood" at the Department of Psychology, University of Zurich (supported by a SNSF Ambizione grant).
I have been named a National Geographic Explorer by the National Geographic Society and received the Otto Hahn medal from the Max Planck Society in "appreciation of outstanding scientific achievements" in the psycholinguistic study of under-researched languages (for work in my dissertation).
