Prof. Holger Mitterer

  Dip.Pysch.(Bielefeld),Ph.D.(Maas.)
Holger Mitterer obtained his Master's degree from the Universities of Bielefeld (Germany) and Leiden (The Netherlands) before doing his PhD at the Faculty for Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of Maastricht (the Netherlands). After completing his PhD with a "cum laude" distinction in 2013, he was fortunate enough to get a position at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics.

There, in the Language Comprehension Group headed by Anne Cutler, he started as a post-doc and stayed for 9 years, becoming a project coordinator. During this time, he was a prolific author in journals from the field of cognitive science, phonetics, linguistics, and neuroscience.

He started his position at the University of Malta, teaching in the newly founded department of Cognitive Science, and continued to publish in various journals. Based on this record, he become an asscoiate editor of the "Labortatory Phonology"(2013-2018) and currently is the (joined) Editor-in-Chief of Language and Speech.
