I am a Lecturer at the School of Psychological Sciences.

My research typically uses an experimental approach and utilizes a variety of methodologies, such as eye-tracking, to investigate the coordination of perceptual and cognitive processes involved in natural reading, including vision, attention, memory, and language processing. 

Externally, I currently serve as:

• A consulting editor for the journal Behavior Research Methods
• A member of the editorial board for Scientific Reports.

My research examines the cognitive and perceptual processes underlying reading comprehension, with a focus on:

Eye Movements as a Window into Reading Comprehension

• Investigating how eye movements (e.g., how long readers look at particular words or phrases and the movements of eyes, etc.) reveal cognitive processes during reading.
• Exploring how visual attention interacts with higher-order linguistic comprehension, including syntax, semantics, and discourse processing.

Cross-Language Differences in Reading Behaviors

• Examine how different writing systems (e.g., alphabetic, logographic) influence reading strategies.
• Identifying universal vs. language-specific reading mechanisms through behavioural, eye-tracking, and neurological experiments.

Processing and Retention of Misinformation in Digital Environments

• Investigating how readers encode, retain, and update (or fail to update) misinformation and correct information.
• Exploring the cognitive mechanisms behind misinformation persistence and resistance to correction, and how that’s being impacted by the everyday reading environment.

Multimodal Information Integration: Reading, Hearing, and Seeing

• Studying how individuals integrate information from text, speech, and visual stimuli (like when one listens to/watches the talk while taking notes).
• Investigating how different modalities (especially between reading and listening) contribute to knowledge construction and comprehension.
