Hi, and welcome to my page!

I'm Thyra, Master's student in Psycholinguistics at the University of Zurich, currently writing my thesis on the effects of tiredness on linguistic processing while reading. 

In April 2025 I began working as a Research Assistant on the SNSF-funded project Text und Bild in Leichter Sprache at Fachhochschule Nordwestschweiz and the University of Zurich, which will transition into a PhD position in February 2026. Briefly, the project aims to investigate the conditions under which illustrations enhance the comprehension of Easy Language text for (1) individuals with intellectual disabilities, (2) prelingually deaf individuals and (3) L2-speakers of German.

Moreover, I am an active member of the MultiplEYE COST Action, as a translator of the stimulus materials into Swedish, as well as for the collection of Romansh Sursilvan data. I am also the Lab Manager for the Digital Linguistics Lab (DiLi) at the University of Zurich. Do not hesitate in contacting me if you would like to know more about the lab and the research we conduct there!

How is my name pronounced? In English I introduce myself as [tajɹa], in my native Swedish I go by [ty:ɾa], but any variant in any language is accepted!
