My web site has now moved to http://www.ling.umd.edu/colin/

Please use the new address. The resources below may be out of date.

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Maryland, where I am also associated with the Cognitive Neuroscience of Language Laboratory. I was previously at the Department of Linguistics at the University of Delaware.

I teach courses on various aspects of language and mind at the graduate and undergraduate level, and have developed extensive on-line resources for a number of these courses (see below).

My research combines theoretical linguistics with language processing, language acquisition and neurolinguistics, with a focus on how the human mind/brain makes rapid and effortless language understanding possible. The ultimate objective is to be able to seamlessly integrate models of language from high-level theoretical models all the way down to the neurophysiological level. Our new lab is in the planning stages, and will be opening in Spring 2001. The research is supported by the National Science Foundation and the McDonnell-Pew Program in Cognitive Neuroscience.

I am a keen distance runner, and ran in the Boston Marathon a couple of years ago. I wish that I could say that I was an active or accomplished runner, but I can't.
