Summary
Swarnendu Moitra is a multidisciplinary research scientist with nine years of experience at the nexus of neuroscience, linguistics, and data science, currently a Staff Research Scientist at the University of Reading and a visiting researcher at Queen Mary University of London. He contributes to the ESRC-funded SaVANT project investigating neuro-typological approaches to word structure processing, blending experimental neuroimaging with formal linguistic theory. His background spans MPhil and MA training in linguistics and an engineering BTech, enabling him to bridge computational methods, signal processing, and theoretical linguistics in language neuroscience. He has held research roles at The Alan Turing Institute and NYU, reflecting a track record of collaborative, cross-institutional projects. Colleagues value his ability to translate complex experimental designs into reproducible data science workflows that reveal how brains encode linguistic structure.
