About: 

I’m an assistant professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Maryland and Co-Director of the KIT-Maryland MEG Lab. I also serve on the faculty of the Neuroscience and Cognitive Science Program and the Maryland Language Science Center–home to one of the largest and most vibrant groups of language scientists in the world! My research aims to link what linguists know about language to what psychologists know about real-time comprehension to what neuroscientists know about the brain, with the goal of developing better models of language processing, representation, and the underlying neural implementation.
