This page will bring you the latest updates on current scientific events that I am involved in as well as research findings and theoretical/scientific advancements that are shaping the future of neurolinguistics.
SMILE lecture, 2025
Leiden University, The Netherlands
I am grateful to be invited to speak at the launch of the new talk series, SMILE, at Leiden University. The SMILE series explores the interplay between prosody and linguistic structure, language use, and speech processing. Read more about the series here.
