About: 

Generally, I'm interested in second language processing with a particular focus on lexical processing. Specifically, I'm investigating whether bilinguals’ first language is obligatorily activated while processing words in second language and whether the presence of their first language exerts an influence on their performance on a second language word recognition task.
