I am a neuroscientist specializing in the cognitive neuroscience of human language. My areas of interest include neuroscience, psycholinguistics, speech and language disorders, and brain plasticity. I use different electrophysiology (surface and intracranial electroencephalography and electromyography) and brain imaging methods to study the brain dynamics of control processes in language production in healthy and impaired speakers. My work seeks to shed light on how the brain reorganizes in populations with brain disorders such as stroke, epilepsy, and brain tumors, and how cognitive control processes are engaged in compensatory processes for language recovery. When not in the lab or the university, I like to spend time with my family and explore San Diego County!
