Our team investigates how cognition, especially language, emerges from distributed brain networks, how these networks vary across individuals, and how they reorganise following neurological conditions such as stroke, tumour, and neurodegeneration. Our research bridges basic neuroscience, clinical translation, and methodological innovation.

Our work combines post mortem anatomy, multimodal neuroimaging, white matter tractography, computational modelling, behavioural assessment, and clinical neuroscience. We are particularly interested in individual variability and how structural connectivity shapes language recovery trajectories.

The lab is based at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour (Radboud University) and the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics.

Working with us

We value scientific rigour, transparent workflows, and collaborative problem-solving.

Our lab handbook outlines expectations regarding supervision, authorship, data governance, inclusion, open science, and sustainability.​

If you are interested in joining the lab, collaborating, or developing a project, please get in touch with a short statement of interests and a CV.​

Good science often begins with a good conversation.
