Professor Petar Milin holds a position as Professor of Psychology of Language and Language Learning at the University of Birmingham's Department of Modern Languages. He earned a BA and MA in Psychology from the University of Novi Sad (Serbia), followed by a PhD in experimental and computational psychology from the University of Belgrade. His career includes roles as Assistant Professor (1990s–2016), Associate Professor (2009–2016), Senior Researcher at Eberhard Karls University in Tübingen (2013–2016), and Senior Lecturer positions at the University of Sheffield and Birmingham. He co-founded Novi Sad's Laboratory for Experimental Psychology (2009–2015) and contributed to EU-funded curricula development projects.
His research focuses on the role of learning in language behavior, combining experimental and computational methods with statistical analysis. Primary interests include language communication dynamics, probabilistic phenomena in language (stylometry, text quantification), and cognitive systems integration. He leads the Out Of Our Minds project (Leverhulme Trust-funded), exploring language learning optimization. Notable grants include €180k and €703k EU TEMPUS grants for curricula development.
Professor Milin has authored/co-authored influential papers in journals like Journal of Experimental Psychology and Cognitive Science, and holds editorial roles at Cognitive Linguistics and Entropy. He is a Turing Fellow and Research Ambassador for Eberhard Karls University. Current advisees include students researching L2 aspectual usage, eye-tracking in bilingualism, and technology-enhanced language learning.
Teaching specialties include Statistics, Research Methods, Psycholinguistics, and Learning Theory. His work bridges cognitive science and computational linguistics, emphasizing interdisciplinary approaches to language understanding and acquisition.
