Lab Managers and Postdoctoral Researchers

Dr. Stanislav Mulík

Postdoctoral Scholar and Lab Manager

Stan is a language and food enthusiast from Slovakia with Hungarian heritage. He has lived and worked in Czechia, Spain, Mexico, and the United States. In December 2021, Stan earned his Ph.D. in Linguistics at the Autonomous University of Queretaro (Mexico) after conducting research with heritage speakers of Otomi, an Indigenous language spoken in central Mexico. He previously did a one-year-long postdoctoral stay at the Faculty of Psychology of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). Stan's main career interest is research in the fields of linguistics and cognitive neuroscience. 

As a linguist, he specialises in the study of bilingualism from the psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic perspectives, especially at the level of phonetics, phonology, and lexical learning and processing. He is specifically interested in understanding the underlying cognitive mechanisms for language in heritage speakers and other bilinguals, as well as studying the differences between their first and second language(s). In my language research, he has integrated experimental approaches ranging from the acoustic analysis of bilingual speech production to behavioural and electrophysiological measures of bilingual speech perception and lexical processing, namely eye-tracking and electroencephalography. 

In addition to M.A. and Ph.D. in Linguistics, in 2007 he obtained his M.Sc. in Chemistry from the Brno University of Technology (Czechia). Due to his interest in gastronomy, during his stay in Mexico, Stan also collaborated on various research projects related to Mexican culinary products.
