Personal profile
Curriculum
I am a doctoral candidate in psychology with a background in cognitive science and philosophy of mind. My research interests focus on embodied cognition, ecological psychology, and the application of dynamical systems theory in psychology, including nonlinear methods. More generally, I am also interested in how experimental and philosophical questions are intertwined in psychology and cognitive science. In my dissertation project, I study reading comprehension as an embodied phenomenon in naturalistic contexts by using eye-tracking, motion capture, and EEG. Moreover, I use nonlinear methods (recurrence, fractals) to quantify reader-text coupling dynamics and to investigate how these are related to variability in reading comprehension.
