Person

I completed my PhD in General Linguistics at Lund University in 2017. I also hold master's degrees in Russian Linguistics and General Linguistics from Lund University.

I am currently working as a postdoctoral fellow at the MARCS Institute, Western Sydney University, in collaboration with Professor Anne Cutler. In a project funded by the Swedish Research Council, I am investigating how spoken words can be processed within a fraction of a second, and how listeners take advantage of clues in the speech signal as to how a word will end.

My main research interests lie within the fields of neurolinguistics and psycholinguistics. My doctoral thesis investigated the interplay between prosody and grammatical structures in the brain, using electroencephalography (EEG), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and behavioural measures. I am interested in spoken language processing, focusing particularly on predictive mechanisms that make it possible to anticipate what someone will say next.
