Dr. Lin Chen is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Educational Psychology at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, with additional appointments at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology and the Department of Linguistics. She directs the interdisciplinary Language, Brain, and Technology Lab, focusing on understanding the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying first and second language processes and their roles in knowledge learning. Her research program centers on cognitive neuroscience of language, psycholinguistics, and applications of AI language models in reading, with particular emphasis on Chinese language processing. Dr. Chen employs diverse methodologies including behavioral studies, eye-tracking, ERPs, co-registration of eye-tracking and EEG, and generative AI language models in conjunction with immersive technologies. Her groundbreaking Character-Word Dual Function model has significantly advanced understanding of how orthographic and semantic processes interact in reading Chinese compounds, with important implications for teaching Chinese as a second language. Analysis of her recent publications reveals a consistent focus on Chinese language processing, particularly examining the dual role of characters and words in reading. Her work demonstrates how understanding writing system structure enhances language learning approaches, with significant contributions to both theoretical models of reading and practical applications for language instruction. Her research bridges educational psychology, cognitive science, and neuroscience to develop evidence-based approaches to language education. Dr. Chen actively mentors graduate students and is recruiting PhD students for the 2025-2026 academic year. She teaches courses including Eye Tracking in Reading Research (EPSY590), Language, Brain, and Technology (EPSY590), Cognitive Psychology Research Method (EPSY590), Child Language and Education (EPSY 401), and Learning from Text (EPSY 427).

Forogh Hashabeiky serves as Senior Lecturer/Associate Professor in Iranian Languages at Uppsala University's Department of Linguistics and Philology, where she maintains an active research profile in Persian linguistics and literature. Her academic work bridges historical and contemporary perspectives on Iranian languages. Her research focuses on historical linguistics , Persian orthography evolution , and post-revolutionary Persian literature , particularly examining grammatical structures in classical texts and narrative patterns in women's writing. Recent publications demonstrate sustained investigation into New Persian development (16th-18th centuries), sociopolitical influences on language change, and textual analysis of literary anthologies. Publications reveal consistent specialization across three interconnected domains: (1) grammatical analysis of historical Persian texts including Tārikh-e Beyhaqi and post-classical literature, (2) orthographic reforms between 1850-2000, and (3) typological studies of post-1979 Iranian women's fiction. Her editorial work on Arash journal stories and Shāhnāme conference proceedings highlights commitment to preserving literary heritage. Professional activities include significant contributions to Encyclopaedia Iranica and development of Swedish-Persian lexicographical resources through LEXIN. While no formal advising roles or research grants are documented in available materials, her extensive publication record demonstrates ongoing scholarly engagement with Persian language evolution across sociohistorical contexts.

Åke Viberg is a Professor in General Linguistics at the Department of Linguistics and Philology, Uppsala University, specializing in Swedish language studies within global linguistic frameworks. His work bridges theoretical and empirical approaches to semantic analysis across languages. Viberg's research centers on contrastive and typological linguistics, with deep expertise in lexical semantics and corpus-based methodologies. He investigates how languages encode sensory experiences (particularly smell and vision), motion events, and emotional concepts, focusing on Swedish in cross-linguistic comparison. His work reveals systematic patterns in verb semantics across domains like perception, possession, and communication, demonstrating how cultural and cognitive factors shape lexical expression. Analysis of his 2009-2024 publications shows consistent focus on granularity in event verbalization, sensory semantics, and cross-linguistic variation in verb systems. Key trends include typological profiling of Swedish against European languages, corpus-driven studies of 'get' and posture verbs, and theoretical modeling of semantic fields. His research demonstrates how seemingly minor lexical differences reflect fundamental cognitive and cultural distinctions in language organization.

Naděžda Kudrnáčová serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of English and American Studies at the Faculty of Arts, Masaryk University in Brno, Czech Republic. Her office is located in building G/G.316 at Gorkého 57/7, Veveří, Brno, and she can be contacted at phone number 549 49 4518 or via email kudrnada@phil.muni.cz. She holds the academic title of CSc. (Candidate of Sciences), equivalent to a Ph.D. in the Czech academic system. Dr. Kudrnáčová's research program centers on English linguistics with particular emphasis on semantics of motion verbs and their cross-linguistic correspondences between English and Czech. She investigates how motion events are linguistically expressed, with special attention to verbs like 'walk' in English and their Czech equivalents 'jít' and 'kráčet'. Her work explores the intricate relationship between verbal meaning and constructional meaning, especially within locative inversion constructions. Through corpus-based approaches, she examines the semantic nuances of human locomotion verbs and their translation equivalents across languages, providing valuable insights into the cognitive aspects of language representation. Her publication record shows a clear trajectory of increasingly sophisticated analyses, progressing from detailed examinations of specific verb classes to broader investigations of how verbal semantics interacts with constructional meaning. Recent work demonstrates her adoption of corpus methodology while maintaining focus on semantic phenomena, with significant contributions to understanding manner salience in motion events and the interface between lexical and constructional meaning. Her research output spans journal articles, book chapters, conference presentations, and academic service activities including workshop organization. Dr. Kudrnáčová actively contributes to academic governance through membership on the Industry Council for English Linguistics and the Program Board for English Language Translation (Master's degree) at Masaryk University.
