Starting January 2019, I will be an Assistant Professor in the Psychology Program at Sabancı University in Istanbul, Turkey. My research examines language as a window into human cognition, using a broad range of methodologies. I am interested in language development in infancy and childhood, neural processing of language, and how language and non-linguistic cognition interact.

My areas of specialization are: Developmental Psychology, Psycholinguistics, Cognitive Psychology, Neuroscience, and Human-Robot Interaction
