Joanna A Morris is an Associate Professor of Psychology at Providence College. She holds a Ph.D. in Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania (1998). Her research focuses on morphological processing, ERP-based neurophysiological methods, and the intersection of language acquisition and clinical populations. Key areas include the neural mechanisms of morphosyntax, semantic processing, and computational models of linguistic analysis. Education Ph.D. in Psychology, University of Pennsylvania, 1998 Research Interests Morris investigates how human brains process morphological structures in language, combining experimental psycholinguistics with neuroimaging techniques. Her work explores questions such as: How do ERP components like the P600 and N400 reflect syntactic and semantic processing? How do clinical populations (e.g., those with language disorders) differ in morphological development compared to typical learners? Recent projects apply deep learning models to study morphological decomposition and semantic mapping. Recent Scholarship Trends Her 2018–2019 studies emphasize ERP correlates of metaphor interpretation and singular 'they' usage, while earlier work (2013–2017) focused on morpho-orthographic decomposition and bilingual priming effects. The 2011 series on semantic incongruity in children highlights developmental trajectories in semantic processing. Advising & Grants No formal advisee list is provided.

Srdjan Popov is Assistant Professor of Neurolinguistics at the University of Groningen Faculty of Arts , where he investigates real-time language processing in healthy and clinical populations. His work combines behavioural, electrophysiological and cross-linguistic methods to understand how morpho-syntactic and tonal information are computed during comprehension and production. Research interests revolve around the cognitive and neural architecture of sentence-level language processing. Key themes include: processing of grammatical tone in tone languages (Akan, Tagalog) pronoun resolution and reference in aphasia visual and morphological priming effects on parsing advance planning scope during sentence formulation Empirically he employs self-paced reading, ERP, and language-production paradigms with monolingual and bilingual speakers, including individuals with post-stroke aphasia. Recent publications (2021-2025) reveal a clear trajectory toward multimodal and cross-linguistic experimentation: half of the papers examine under-studied tone languages, while the remainder probe Dutch morpho-syntax and aphasic language control, highlighting both universal and language-specific mechanisms. Awards & grants: No specific prizes or major grants are listed in the supplied material. Supervision & teams: Popov is affiliated with the Neurolinguistics and Language Development (NLD) group and currently supervises at least ten student projects (theses, posters, conference abstracts), indicating active mentoring within the faculty.
