Salomi Asaridou

I am the Course Lecturer for the MSc in Neuroscience at the Department of Experimental Psychology and a Stipendiary Lecturer in Psychology at St Anne's and Queen's college.

I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in Greece. I continued my studies as a Fulbright scholar in the US where I obtained a MSc degree in Neuroscience and Education from Columbia University. I completed my PhD at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics and the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour in the Netherlands funded by a Max Planck Society IMPRS fellowship. Before moving to Oxford, I worked on an NIH funded project in the Department of Neurology at the University of California, Irvine in the US.

My research interests lie in individual variation in language learning abilities and how it relates to variation in brain structure and function. I have had the opportunity to explore this variation in monolingual and bilingual young adults, in typically developing children, in children with perinatal brain lesions, and in children with Developmental Language Disorder.
