Personal profile

Research Interests

My research is broadly focused on the interactions between individual, personality, and situational differences, and their influence on linguistic behavior. I am particularly interested in the cross-situational stability of idiolects and the associations between linguistic behavior and personality, with implications for forensic authorship analysis and profiling. More broadly, I have experience in conducting interdisciplinary research at the intersections between linguistics, psychology, sociology and criminology.
