About

I am generally interested in speech perception and language processing under acoustically adverse conditions. Such conditions include speech in noise, hearing impairment or deafness, fast conversational speech, or an insufficient language model, as is the case in L2 listeners.  My work is highly interdisciplinary, ranging from grammatical aspects of language comprehension to speech perception diagnostics.

I currently hold a post-doc position as a psycholinguist in the Cluster of Excellence Hearing4all, a collaboration between the universities of Oldenburg, Leibnitz University Hannover and Hannover Medical School. Within the cluster, I am currently affiliated with the Deutsches Hörzentrum Hannover, where I contribute to Research Area 5: From hearing to understanding for participation in society. My first post-doc was as a psycholinguist in the Cluster of Excellence the University of Oldenburg, where I mainly contributed to task group 3, ‘Functional Characterization of the Individual’. My second post-doc was in the Collaborative Research Council (SFB) 732 Incremental Specification in Context at the University of Stuttgart, where I contributed to project A7 (Cross-linguistic interactions in second language prosody). At the Technical University of Brunswick (Braunschweig, Germany), I tought English (psycho-)Linguistics and learned more about multilingualism.
