Position Title
PhD Student
About
I am a second-year Linguistic PhD student studying sign language neurolinguistics in the Corina Neurolinguistics lab. My recent research is focused on articulation and neural motor models of American Sign Language, particularly the types of sensory feedback that predominate motoric self-monitoring and correction as evidenced by cases of deaf signing aphasic patients.
