Ph.D. in Linguistics (Phonetics/Laboratory phonology)

CNRS researcher 

I am a CNRS research scientist at the Laboratoire Parole et Langage (CNRS & Aix-Marseille Université), in Aix-en-Provence, France. My background is in experimental phonetics and laboratory phonology. I work on prosody (i.e., the music of language) and I use acoustic analysis, behavioral methods and electrophysiological measures to investigate how speakers perceive and use prosody to understand language.

I am currently the coordinator of:

• the research team S2S - Sound to Sense (co-leader with S. Dufour) 

• the ANR JCJC research project FRENCHMELO "FRENCH MELOdy in language understanding: from native language processing to the acquisition of foreign languages" (ANR-23-CE28-0021-01; 2024-2028; 210.974€; PI)

• the A*Midex Blanc research project PROSOLANG "Using PROSOdy to improve LANGuage learning" (AMX-22-RE-AB-178; 2024-2028; 174.339€; PI) 

I am a member of:

• the transversal research group Prosody  https://www.lpl-aix.fr/groupe-transversal-prosodie/

• the International Speech Communication Association https://www.isca-speech.org/iscaweb/
