Biography

Dr Juliana Gerard is a lecturer in Linguistics, with research interests in language acquisition and language processing in children and adults. She has worked on children's language development with a focus on syntax, as well as interactions with domain-general processes like memory and inhibitory control.

Since joining Ulster University, Juliana has established various collaborative research and impact initiatives. In addition to working with the Ulster Centre on Multilingualism (UCoM) on language development in Newcomer pupils, Juliana established the Ulster Child Studies Consortium, fostering partnerships that support impactful research and outreach; these efforts have included outreach events where families engage with hands-on activities that are designed to enhance understanding of child development research. Juliana has also explored the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and education and is involved in projects that investigate how AI-based tools can support teaching and 
learning, and accessible applications of AI in educational settings.

Juliana studied Linguistics and Cognitive Science at the University of 
California, Los Angeles. She then obtained a PhD in Linguistics at the University of Maryland, specializing in children’s language acquisition, before joining Ulster as a lecturer in Linguistics in 2016.
