Assistant Professor
Director, Center for Second Language Research
I am a faculty in the Department of Second Language Studies at the University of Hawaii.
I am interested in bridging cognitive science and language learning/teaching. I conduct basic research combining computational and behavioral methods in order to understand the basic mechanisms of language learning. Theoretically and empirically motivated predictions can then be made to help improve language learning and teaching.
I am also Director of the CSLR. Students interested in ongoing and projected studies can visit the Research page, or contact me.
I teach courses at the graduate level.
