Science biography

 

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Robertson Lab, where I investigate how the language we speak shapes the way we visually perceive the world. Before joining Dartmouth, I studied cognitive advantage in Vietnamese-Czech bilinguals at the University of South Bohemia. I then moved to the University of Birmingham in the UK, where I completed my PhD on shared semantic representations in vision and language with Drs Ian Charest and Clayton Hickey.

 

Non-science biography

 

I grew up in a small town in Central Bohemia, Czech Republic. Outside the lab, you'll most likely find me on the dance floor practicing salsa or in the kitchen perfecting my curries.
