Phonetics, Laboratory Phonology, Psycholinguistics, Second Language Acquisition, Spoken-word Recognition, Speech Categorization
My research is couched within phonetics, phonology, and psycholinguistics, with a particular focus on understanding how listeners process acoustic information for spoken word recognition, and the extent to which these low-level processes are linked to real-world outcomes, such as language development, reading skills, and second/foreign language (L2) acquisition. The scope of my research also extends to speech production and the mechanisms underpinning sound change. You can find more details about my research interests in the "Research Focus" tab.
