Rajalakshmi Madhavan

Postdoctoral Researcher

My name is Raji, and I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Centre for Data Science in Humanities at Chosun University, South Korea, working under Prof. Eon-Suk Ko and Dr. Katie von Holzen , working on the ManyBabies-AtHome: Looking While Listening project.

In my previous Postdoctoral role, I was a Research Associate under Dr. Catherine Laing, in the Department of Language and Linguistic Science at the University of York.

I completed my PhD in 2024 at the University of Göttingen, Germany, under Prof. Dr. Nivedita Mani.

My research focuses on young children's language development, and I'm particularly interested in exploring how their caregiver's input and caregiver-child interactions influence this process. I am also passionate about Open Research and replicable research practices in developmental research - specifically, establishing sustainable and low-resource research methods and practices that are generalisable across languages and cultures.
