Collaborating with Global Colleagues (and Local Babies) on Language Acquisition Research:
Irena Lovčević at WPI-IRCN

At WPI-IRCN’s Babylab, postdoctoral researcher Irena Lovčević studied how environmental factors shape language acquisition in infants—using innovative “Babyloggers” to capture real-world speech data. From Serbia to Sydney to Tokyo, her journey through WPI-IRCN expanded her research network and deepened her mission to bring developmental science to the parents who need it most.
