Personal profile
My research in a nutshell
A large portion of my research examines how prosodic information influences spoken language processing, especially in the uptake of segmental information. More broadly, my research deals with representations and processes in speech perception, prosody, intonation, and (primarily acoustic) phonetics.
Biography
I am a phonetician/ laboratory phonologist/ psycholinguist, and a Lecturer in Phonetics ( = Assistant Prof.) at The University of Edinburgh. Prior to this, I was a postdoctoral fellow at Northwestern University where I worked in the Prosody and Speech Dynamics Lab. I received my PhD in Linguistics from UCLA.
