Assistant Professor, Communicative Disorders and Sciences
College of Arts and Sciences
Primary research focus: I study how individuals retrieve words from memory, particularly by focusing on the way words (and language more generally) is structured/organized in the mind. I use tools from the network and cognitive sciences.
Areas of potential collaboration or skill-building: network science tools, human cognition (particularly language-related), grant writing, R programming for simulation, network analysis, data visualization
