I am a senior lecturer in speech and language therapy at the Manchester Metropolitan University, UK. I am interested in understanding how different cognitive processes influence language processing in the healthy and communication-disordered population (e.g., aphasia). I utilize mixed methods approaches including behavioral and electrophysiological methods.
