David Sidhu is an Assistant Professor at Carleton University.

He is the PI of the Cognition, Language, Sound Symbolism, Iconicity (CLaSSI) Lab.

His research focuses on how we pair sound and meaning in language (i.e., why some language sounds might be better suited to convey certain meanings). He also explores various other aspects of language processing, including the impact of bodily experience.
