I am no longer at University College London.

I am currently a Lecturer in Psycholinguistics in the Department of Language and Linguistics at the University of Essex.

I received my Ph.D. in Linguistics and M.S. in Statistics from the University of Chicago.

My research aims to understand how the human brain processes pitch information for linguistic and musical purposes during production and perception. My current areas of research include speech prosody in tone versus non-tonal languages, pitch processing in typical and atypical populations, speech/music production and perception, and cognitive and neural bases of pitch processing.
