My name is Michaela (Micky) Watkins and I am just starting my third year as a PhD Candidate at the University of Amsterdam (ACLC). I started my PhD in October 2022, under the supervision of dr. Silke Hamann and Prof. Arjen Versloot. 

At the moment I am investigating the Seoul Korean laryngeal contrast: I'm primarily looking at voice quality, pitch tracking, and the production-perception interface.

More broadly I am interested in tone, perception of acoustic cues, and research methods in speech technology concerning F0 / Pitch tracking.
