Welcome!!
I am a doctoral student in the discipline of cognitive science under the supervision of Dr.Kamal Kumar Choudhary at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Ropar. My research focuses on Linguistics, Neuro-linguistics and Psycholinguistics. I have a broad interest in the neuro-typology of Dravidian languages. My doctoral work is on the processing of experiencer verbs in Malayalam.
