Having recently defended my doctoral thesis (January 2025), I am actively and autonomously developing my research career. I’m always open to brainstorming new research ideas and building potential collaborations, especially within (but not limited to) my current research interests in cognitive psycho- and neurolinguistics with cross-linguistic comparison, focusing on:

  • sensorimotor representations in language processing
  • speech processing of articulatory features
  • prosodic encoding of emotions
  • structure and access of the mental lexicon

Please feel free to get in touch!

Ongoing preparation & collaborations

  • Emotion. Independently developing a funding application for a new research project led by Tzuyi Tseng on cortical emotion recognition across languages; open to collaborations.
  • Emotion. Conducting a preliminary investigation of cross-linguistic emotion recognition in French and Mandarin verbal phrases and non-verbal vocalizations, in collaboration with Aitana Garcia Arasco (DDL & ENES), Saint-Etienne, France.
  • Emotion. Serving as an external collaborator on the Inidex EFL project: the grammatical encoding of expressivity and emotions, in collaboration with Lisa Brunetti (Université Paris Cité), with an ongoing funding application through Laboratoire de Linguistique Formelle, Paris, France.
  • Inner speech. Developing a funding application for a research project led by Ladislas Nalborczyk (CNRS), Aix-en-Provence, France, on uncovering the neural dynamics of inner speech from EEG signals.
  • Articulatory imagery. Developing a funding application for a new research project co-led by Tzuyi Tseng on articulatory imagery in foreign language learning, in collaboration with Ladislas Nalborczyk (CNRS), Aix-en-Provence, France.
