Jen is currently a member of the Laboratory heading towards the completion of her doctoral research work. She has research interests in the psycholinguistics of bilingualism and the relationship between language and memory. Her work has been published in Experimental Psychology and in Cognition and Emotion. She has also co-authored chapters on lexical ambiguity and psycholinguistic issues in bilingualism (one published; another expected 2007).
