Post-docs
Krzysztof Hwaszcz is an ADIM post-doctoral researcher as Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. His main research areas involve syntax-semantics interface, mental lexicon, phonetics and phonology and syntax in the theoretical perspective. Krzysztof wrote his PhD dissertation on the processing of compound words and the organization of the mental lexicon. He is also associated with Wrocław University of Science and Technology in the CLARIN consortium.
Hanna Kędzierska is an ADIM post-doctoral researcher at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. Her main research interests include psycho- and neurolinguistics, multilingualism and figurative language processing. She wrote her PhD dissertation on the processing of foreign-accented speech, focusing on data obtained with the aid of event-related brain potentials technique.
Kamil Malarski is an ADIM post-doctoral researcher at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. Kamil is trained in sociolinguistics, field linguistics, laboratory phonology and language acquisition. Multilingualism is his newest research interest. In our project, he investigates L3 Norwegian and L3 Polish speech. He tries to map the foreign-language accents with social and cultural parameters of the speakers.
Tristan Czarnecki-Verner is a CLIMAD post-doctoral researcher at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. His research interests include obstruent sequences in Polish and across human languages. He uses acoustic, neuro-, and psycholinguistic techniques to assess how humans produce, perceive, and acquire consonant sequences. His long-term goal is to produce autodidactic tools to help learners acquire competence processing and producing articulatorily-complex sound sequences.
