United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Linguistics at the London School of Economics, where I focus on the intersection of language, cognition, and social communication. My academic journey has been marked by a commitment to exploring how linguistic mediation influences cognitive biases in institutional contexts.
With a Ph.D. from Princeton University, I have received several prestigious awards, including the Best Job Market Paper Award from the European Linguistics Association. My research has been recognized at various conferences, and I actively contribute to the academic community through organizing symposiums and refereeing for linguistic events.
In addition to my research, I have extensive teaching experience, having lectured and assisted in various linguistics courses at both Princeton and the London School of Economics. I am passionate about fostering a collaborative learning environment and mentoring students in their academic pursuits.
