I am a senior researcher at Tilburg University, the Netherlands, where I am a member of the Tilburg centre for Cognition and Communication. I am the principal investigator of the CASA MILA project, which involves both empirical research on child language acquisition and computational modelling of language acquisition and evolution. This project is carried out both in Mozambique and the Netherlands.
