معرفی
Associate Professor Lisi Beyersmann is a cognitive scientist at Macquarie University's School of Psychological Sciences, specializing in morphological processing and reading development. Her research focuses on how humans process morphemes in words, particularly in children’s reading acquisition and aging populations. She holds a PhD from Macquarie University and has held prestigious fellowships, including the ARC DECRA (2019–2022) and MQRF (2016–2018).
Education: BSc (Computational Linguistics) from the University of Stuttgart (2003), MSc (Psycholinguistics) from the University of Cambridge (2006), and PhD (Cognitive Science) from Macquarie University (2007).
Research Interests: Morphological decomposition in reading, bilingual language processing, and the cognitive mechanisms underlying word recognition. Her work employs EEG, MEG, and eye-tracking technologies. Recent studies explore cross-language influences in bilinguals and the role of semantics in morpheme segmentation.
Awards: Includes ANR/DFG grant (2016), BLRI Post-doctoral grant (2015), and FYSSEN Foundation fellowship (2013).
Advising & Grants: Supervises PhD/MRes students and leads projects like 'Un-pack-ing meaning as children learn to read complex words' (ARC DP20).
Lab Activities: The Beyersmann Reading Lab investigates language processing across lifespan, with collaborations in Europe and North America. Recent projects include studies on emoji integration in text and dyslexia-related reading challenges.
