I am a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Gothenburg Department of Psychology where I work with Martin Lövdén out of the Lövdén lab. I am also part of the Integrative Cognitive Neuroscience (ICON) lab.

My research interests lie at the intersection of cognitive neuroscience, language sciences, and linguistics. I am particularly interested in understanding the impact of various life experiences and lifestyle factors on neurocognitive development (across one’s lifespan) and cognitive aging trajectories. To date, my research has primarily focused on exploring the potential implications of bi-/multilingualism on neurocognition in later life, as well as their relevance to clinical neurodegeneration. I employ a combination of behavioral and neuroimaging methods (EEG/MRI/PET) in my work.

I hold a PhD in Psycholinguistics from the University of Reading. My previous academic appointments include a postdoctoral research position at UiT the Arctic University of Norway, and a teaching-intensive post at Riga Medical College of the University of Latvia.
