My research program focuses on understanding how phonetic detail is represented by the cognitive system through the study of variations in fine-grained pronunciations of speech sounds. Ultimately, my questions aim to address how phonetic & phonological patterns are abstracted, evolve and are used, functionally and pragmatically, in language communication.

To this end, my approach is three-pronged:
Applied/Clinical/Developmental: exploring the role of phonetic detail and abstraction in speech processing in language development for neurotypical and atypical populations, in particular, those diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Experimental/ Laboratory & Corpus: investigating systematic within-language phonetic variations to uncover the relationship between structures in the speech signal and higher-order linguistic structures, such as phonemes and words.

Fieldwork/Documentary: documenting production & perception patterns of understudied languages (for example, Moroccan Arabic & Tigrinya) in order to make cross-linguistic generalizations of speech processing.
