Ondřej Drobil - a (psycho)linguist in the making

I am a PhD student at the Institute of Linguistics, University of Stuttgart. Since November 2025, I have been conducting research as a member of Titus von der Malsburg’s Psycholinguistics and Cognitive Modeling Lab.

I completed a Master’s degree in Empirical and Comparative Linguistics and Bachelor’s degrees in Intercultural Communication and Sociology at Charles University.

Previously, I was a member of the Experimental Research on Central European Languages (ERCEL) Lab and Artificial Intelligence Language Lab (AILL) at Charles University, Czechia.

My research interests lie in experimental and computational psycholinguistics. I am interested in incremental language processing, reading strategies, corpus methods, large kanguage models and cognitive modeling.
