He obtained his Bachelor of Arts degree in Cognitive Science from the University of KwaZulu-Natal, and both his Master of Science and PhD degrees in Cognitive Neuroscience from Radboud University. He worked as a postdoctoral research scientist at Haskins Laboratories, The Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, and the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics before joining CityU in 2024.

 

 

His research focuses primarily on psycholinguistics/the cognitive neuroscience of language, and more specifically on what can be learned about language processing using electrophysiological methods like electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG). He has a particular interest in sentence comprehension and syntax, the role of cognitive control and working memory in these processes, and studying many of these issues from a cross-linguistic perspective.
