Position

Postdoctoral Research Fellow

Biography

I am a postdoctoral researcher in brain sciences with a focus on developmental language processes in infants. My research delves into how young children acquire their first language and the significant role that caregiver speech plays in this early learning phase. I combine methodologies from brain sciences and behaviour analysis to explore speech perception dynamics and phonological abstraction in early childhood.
