About Me

I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Linguistics at The Ohio State University. My primary research interests are in experimental methods for online sentence processing.

Some problems that intrigue me are processing bottlenecks, the interaction between expectation-based and memory-based processing, and whether syntactic or semantic information is prioritized in unconstrained cue-based retrieval.

My current work investigates the extent of encoding interference in memory-based processing bottlenecks.
