Biography
After a BA in Greek Philology at the University of Athens, I went to Edinburgh to obtain an MSc in Natural Language and Speech Processing and then a PhD in Linguistics. Before coming to Cambridge I worked at the Universities of Edinburgh and York and held an Intra-European Marie Curie Fellowship at the University of Lille III. I am one of the people who set up听the Cambridge Bilingualism Network, a public engagement initiative promoting the linguistic and cognitive advantages of bilingualism and I am the founding Editor of . I joined 色色影院 in 2016.听 Since1 September 2022, I am Assistant Professor in First and Second Language Acquisition and Language Typology.
