Biography
Dr. Jamie Reilly is a Professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at Temple University. He is a clinically licensed speech-language pathologist with expertise in progressive language disorders, psycholinguistics, and neurorehabilitation. As an undergraduate at Tulane University, Jamie studied Russian and Linguistics. He later completed graduate degrees at Temple University in Speech-Language Pathology (M.A.) and Cognitive Psychology (Ph.D.), followed by a postdoctoral fellowship in Cognitive Neuroscience at the University of Pennsylvania (2005-07). Dr. Reilly established the Concepts & Cognition Laboratory at Temple University in 2014. He routinely co-authors research with graduate and undergraduate students using a diverse range of empirical methods (e.g., brain stimulation, eyetracking, EEG, fMRI). Jamie is a standing member of the Language and Communication (LCOM) scientific review group for the National Institutes of Health. He also serves as secretary and board member for Society for the Neurobiology of Language. Jamie is an active scientist who is dedicated to open science, resource sharing, and translation of theory into practical applications for improving functional communication in aging and dementia.
