Our lab is growing! We have some new recruits:
-Eleanor Luckock is a PhD student based in University of Reading Malaysia (first supervisors: Prof. Carmel Houston-Price and Dr Rachel Pye). Her PhD topic is How does multilingual language experience influence vocabulary acquisition in an additional unfamiliar language? Her work in our lab will involve designing a new ERP experiment for her thesis.
-Varun Arunachalam Chandran is a PhD student that recently joined us (first supervisor: Prof. Bhismadev Chakrabarti). Varun will look at the effects of autism on the structure of the brain by using methods targeting both the grey and the white matter.
-Holly Davies is an MSc student in our Speech and Language Therapy programme. In collaboration with Dr Tomasina Oh (Plymouth Marjon University), Holly will be looking at the effects of multilingualism on brain structure, comparing monolingual to bilingual and multilingual participants.
-James Philip is an MSc student in our Language Sciences programme. In collaboration with Dr Wesley Weimer (University of Michigan) will be looking at structural effects in the brain of experienced computer programmers.
All in all, exciting times ahead! As always, if you are interested in joining our lab, including applying for a PhD, feel free to email at c.pliatsikas[at]reading.ac.uk, or use the contact form.
