My primary research interests centre around how language constructs and conveys meaning. Currently, my work focuses on how the brain combines smaller bits of language into complex linguistic and conceptual structures. A focus of this work would be on better understanding this capacity within relatively natural task designs, such as natural listening. Such tasks are particularly suitable for certain populations such as children on the autism spectrum or individuals with acquired brain injury, for whom standard experimental tasks might not be appropriate. To approach this topic, my research takes a multimodal imaging approach, using non-invasive techniques such as combined electro- and magnetoencephalography and magnetic resonance imaging, alongisde behavioural methods. My doctoral research here is supervised by Olaf Hauk and Matt Lambon Ralph and supported by a Gates Cambridge Scholarship.
