About Me
I am an Ikerbasque Research Fellow (tenure-track) and Associate Leader of the Spoken Language group at the Basque Center on Cognition, Brain and Language.
Short bio: Following my undergraduate studies in Psychology at the University of Athens, I worked with Dr. Athanassios Protopapas while pursuing a graduate degree in Basic and Applied Cognitive Science. I continued my academic training as a doctoral student at the University of Iowa working with Dr. Bob McMurray and later joined the BCBL as a postdoctoral researcher working with Dr. Arthur Samuel. I am currently an Associate Group Leader at the BCBL (Spoken Language group).
Research foci: My research examines some of the fundamental processes and representations that subserve language use, focusing on speech perception, word recognition, and word learning.
I am particularly interested in the structure and the dynamics of the mental lexicon, L1/L2 phoneme categorization, and the interactivity between different levels of language processing. In addition, I am interested in how these processes differ among individuals and the impact of these differences on language processing.
Methodology: I use a variety of methodological tools such as behavioral tasks, eye-tracking, and electrophysiological measures, as well as computational modeling.
