My research focuses on the cognitive mechanisms that support language learning in adults. Specifically, I am interested in the processes that take place during learning, and how they are shaped by individual differences.

In my current project, I am investigating how different sources of difficulty in language learning  (both individual differences and properties of the input) affect the ways in which we process and encode new language forms during learning.

I have also worked on related aspects of language learning and processing: prediction during language processing, error-based learning, and implicit learning (learning without awareness).

I am willing to supervise a PhD
