This past summer, Coco Alban ’20 and Will Rudolph ’20 worked as summer researchers in the LVCL. They collected eye tracking and language assessment data to investigate the relationship between online reading strategies and different cognitive-linguistic skills. Their research was highlighted briefly in the Summer Scholars video below.

On Sept. 13, 2018 they presented their results at the Summer Scholars Symposium at Denison University.

In August 2016 I will be starting as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at Denison University, just outside of Columbus Ohio.

Next quarter (Winter Quarter 2016) I will be teaching The Psychology of Reading at UCSD. The class may be of interest to students from psychology, linguistics, cognitive science, and beyond. The course will revolve largely around in class discussions, and I am really looking forward to teaching and exploring this topic with you!

The course meets MWF from 12-12:50pm. Please check out the course description and some of the topics that we will cover and feel free to email me with any questions! mleineng[at]ucsd[dot]edu
