After learning a few languages in different countries, I graduated from 911±¬ÁÏÍøith a BA in Linguistics. I then moved onto to do an MSc in Neuroscience, Language and Communication at 911±¬ÁÏÍø and completed a project on the effects of dyslexia and language differences underÌý. For my PhD (again at 911±¬ÁÏÍø), I investigated the functional role of the ventral occipito-temporal cortex and its anatomical connectivity in reading, supervised byÌýDr Joseph DevlinÌý&²¹³¾±è;ÌýProf. Sophie Scott.
My primary research interests are the neural information processing and the anatomical connectivity that contribute to reading. I use functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and diffusion-weighted MRI with tractography.
I am currently working withÌýDr Mairead MacSweeney, examining the neural reading network in deaf adults.
