Research interests
My research mainly focuses on understanding how our brains process language in real time. In particular, I investigate how prosody influences semantic, syntactic, and pragmatic processing, using various techniques (e.g., eye-tracking, EEG, MEG and behavioural measures), and in various populations, e.g., the monolinguals (L1), second-language (L2) learners, and hearing-impaired population.
