Research

My research uses magnetoencephalography (MEG) to investigate how the brain builds syntactic representations during language comprehension, including rapid parallel visual presentation paradigms and context-dependent processing.

I am currently working on dissertation projects focused on how functional roles and sentence context shape neural representations during serial and parallel presentation.

More project details and publications will be added here soon.

For my dissertation, I am working on a large-scale MEG project investigating how neural representations are shaped by their functional roles and the surrounding context during serial and parallel presentation. I have also conducted an MEG project contrasting Danish two-word sentence to investigate syntactic dependencies in a working memory-free paradigm.

Prior to joining NYU’s PhD program, I earned a Bachelor and Master of Arts in English Studies from the University of Copenhagen, Denmark. While both degrees were interdisciplinary, my MA in particular offered many opportunities to engage with linguistically oriented questions, resulting in, for instance, an article examining language ideologies among long-term international students in Denmark. For my Master’s thesis, I conducted a psycholinguistic study on Danish-English bilinguals’ cognate processing in L1 and L2 tasks.
