I am currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Maryland, where I am a co-director of the Cognitive Neuroscience of Language Laboratory. Previously, I taught at the University of Delaware, and before that studied at Oxford, Rochester, and MIT. Originally, I am from the flat fen-country of eastern England.

I teach courses on various aspects of language and mind at the graduate and undergraduate level.

My research combines theoretical linguistics with language processing, language acquisition and neurolinguistics, with the primary focus on how the human mind/brain makes rapid and effortless language understanding possible. The ultimate objective is to be able to seamlessly integrate models of language, from high-level theoretical models all the way down to the neurophysiological level.
