Christoph Scheepers obtained his psychology degree from the University of Bochum in 1991 and completed his Ph.D. at the University of Freiburg in 1997. He undertook a two-year postdoctoral research position at the University of Glasgow before serving as an assistant professor at the University of Saarbruecken from 2000 to 2003. Scheepers held a lectureship at the University of Dundee until September 2005, when he became a lecturer at the Psychology Department at the University of Glasgow. His main research areas include psycholinguistics and the psychology of language, with a focus on the mental representations and mechanisms that enable effective natural language production and comprehension, such as real-time processing with low error probability. His research methods involve recording eye movements during reading and utilizing the visual-world paradigm to explore linguistically aided scene perception. Scheepers's work is inspired by situated language use and the interface between language and vision.
