Kyriakos Antoniou

Welcome to my website!

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Rehabilitation Sciences, Cyprus University of Technology. I also coordinate the Language, Communication and Neurocognition Science Lab (LangSci Lab) within the same department.

My research interests include topics related to language and cognitive processing in adults, in development, disorders, and first and second language acquisition. A particular focus of my research has been on speakers of two different languages (bilinguals) or dialects of the same language (bidialectals). These topics have been examined cross-linguistically and cross-culturally, with methods from psycholinguistics, cognitive psychology, and cognitive neuroscience such as Event-Related Potentials, eye-tracking, and behavioral tests that measure the speed and accuracy of manual responding.

Before joining the Department of Rehabilitation Sciences (Cyprus University of Technology), I was a Marie Skłodowska-Curie postdoctoral fellow in the Center for Applied Neuroscience at the University of Cyprus as part of a two-year individual fellowship awarded to me by the European Commission.

In the past, I held various teaching and postdoctoral research positions at the University of Cambridge, Université libre de Bruxelles (Belgium), University College London, the Hellenic Open University and the Cyprus University of Technology.

In my free time I enjoy doing sports, particularly playing football, running, and reading about politics.  You can read about some of my other activities here.
