Marianne de Heer Kloots
I am a PhD candidate at the Institute for Logic, Language and Computation
of the University of Amsterdam, where I work in the clc lab supervised
by Willem Zuidema.
Before this, I studied Brain & Cognitive Sciences (in Amsterdam)
and Linguistics (in Leiden). You can
view some publications resulting from previous research projects I have worked on at my google scholar page.
Contact me by
e-mail, or through any of these platforms:
I like making illustrations and visualizations. You can find some of them on the ILLC blog!
