Dr. Ilhan Raman is a Chartered Psychologist and currently a Senior Lecturer at Middlesex University with research expertise in psycholinguistics and neuropsychology of language. Raman holds a BSc (Hons) in Psychology and a PhD in Cognitive Psychology from Middlesex University, UK, as well as a Post Graduate Certificate in Higher Education and is an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society. Raman’s academic career spans over two decades and her research explores the extent to which underpinning cognitive processes in reading are shaped by the nature of writing systems. To date, she has conducted pioneering psycholinguistic research by employing the unique characteristics of the Turkish orthography which has been the subject of peer reviewed publications, invited keynote talks, public seminars and international collaborations. Her research interests cover understanding cognitive processes involved in reading in orthographies other than English; reading and spelling in children and adults; dyslexia; the development of normative and diagnostic tools to assess literacy skills in Turkish; bilingualism and the neuropsychology of language after brain damage. Raman holds full membership to numerous professional bodies and is a member of the Experimental Psychology Society and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy in the UK. In addition, Raman is dedicated to improving public opinion and increasing awareness of learning difficulties especially dyslexia in Turkish for the general public, teachers, parents and researchers in the UK, Turkey and North Cyprus.
