RESEARCH INTERESTS
I'm a Ph.D. student at the Max Planck Institute (MPI) for Psycholinguistics.I'm interested in the associations between language and the mind. In particular, I study how language affects cognition and embodied simulation, and the mechanisms of behavioral alignment in conversation, especially in a virtual setting (e.g., Zoom).
