My research focuses on three related areas: bilingual memory and lexical access, bilingual executive function, and bilingual language control. I am interested in how bilingual language experiences interact with executive function and episodic memory processes. Additionally, I am interested in how acquired neurogenic disorders affects these areas. My current research focuses on how mild traumatic brain injury affects executive function and language control in bilinguals using a behavioral measurements (e.g., reaction time, accuracy) and physiological techniques (e.g., eye-tracking).
