Profile
I am a cognitive psychologist with an interest in the relationship between language and emotions. More specifically, my research examines the question how bilingualism influences the recognition of affective meaning in the speakers’ different languages.
I joined the School of Psychology at the University of Leeds in 2019. Prior to that, I worked as Lecturer and Senior Lecturer of Psychology at Queen Mary, University of London where I served as the Director of Teaching and Learning in Psychology.
