I received a Ph.D in Cognitive Perceptual and Brain Sciences from University College London, Deafness, Cognition and Language Research Centre (DCAL). I am interested in the effects of sign language experience and deafness on perception and cognition. My doctoral research investigated how sign language experience influences perception and categorization of handshapes in British Sign Language. I also worked on projects examining acquisition of predicate structures, gesture and constructed action by deaf signing children and BSL signers. My current research combines behavioral psycholinguistic and ERP methods to study the temporal dynamics and hemispheric specialization in deaf signers of American Sign Language.
