Rafał Jończyk is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Pragmatics, Faculty of English, Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, Poland, where he conducts research at the intersection of psycholinguistics, affective neuroscience, and bilingualism. His work primarily investigates how emotional processing differs between native and second languages using neurophysiological methods, particularly EEG. With a Ph.D. in English Linguistics from Poznań (2015) and postdoctoral experience at Pennsylvania State University, he has established himself as a leading researcher in bilingual emotional processing. His research interests span Affective Neuroscience , Experimental Pragmatics , Psycholinguistics , Bilingualism and Emotion , and the Neurophysiology of Creativity . His methodology heavily relies on EEG to examine language processing, with particular focus on emotional language comprehension and production in bilingual contexts. His work has demonstrated how bilinguals process emotional content differently in their native versus second languages, revealing reduced sensitivity to negative content in the second language. Jończyk's research program has evolved from early work on hemispheric specialization for emotional words to sophisticated EEG studies of emotional anticipation and metaphor processing in bilinguals. His most recent work explores hyperscanning methodologies to study real-time bilingual communication and the neural correlates of creative thinking in bilingual contexts. His publications show a clear progression from foundational studies of emotional word processing to increasingly complex investigations of emotional communication in naturalistic contexts. Cognitive Neuroscience Society Post-doctoral Fellows Award (2018) START scholarship for most talented young Polish scientists (2018) Scholarship from the Minister of Science and Higher Education (2020) Travel Grant Award for International Symposium on Bilingualism (2013) As Principal Investigator, Jończyk leads two major National Science Center projects examining psychophysiological correlates of affective language processing in bilinguals (2016-2018) and neurophysiological correlates of emotional speech production in bilingualism (2021-2025). He also participates in multiple international collaborations including NSF-funded research on divergent thinking in engineering education. His editorial roles include Topic Editor for Brain Sciences and Associate Editor for Applied Psycholinguistics, reflecting his standing in the field. He teaches courses in Psycholinguistics, Emotions in Social Communication, and Creativity and Language at the university level.
