Summary
Anton Malko is a postdoctoral research fellow at the Australian National University with a decade of experience studying real-time language comprehension using experimental methods, especially eye-tracking. His work spans English and Australian First Nations languages (Pitjantjatjara, Warlpiri), combining careful experimental design with strong statistical analysis in R. He has a track record of mentoring and teaching—co-running a coding and statistics clinic, co-teaching quantitative methods, and organizing methodology-focused discussion groups. Anton’s background includes computational linguistics and NLP, bringing a data-driven, reproducible mindset from roles at CSIRO’s Data61 and the University of Maryland to applied language research. Colleagues rely on him for rigorous preprocessing pipelines, clear visualizations, and thoughtful methodological critique that bridge field linguistics and modern statistical practice.
