I'm a post-doctoral researcher in Herbert Clark's lab in the Department of Psychology at Stanford University, where I study spatial language and spatial thought. My PhD is in cognitive psychology, but much of my research integrates cogntive linguistic theory with psycholinguistic methods. My primary interests are (a) why people use motion verbs and other dynamic language to talk about static scenes, (b) whether people mentally simulate motion when processing language about motion, (c) why people point and do other physical actions while talking about space, and (d) how people represent and understand motion in static depictions.

As of July, 2004, I'll be a professor at the new University of California, UC Merced.
