Assistant Professor of Linguistics ยท The Ohio State University

My research investigates how speakers plan and produce speech by teasing apart the mechanical, cognitive, and grammatical pressures that shape common phonological patterns across languages. I extend these findings to develop formal phonological models in which general, phonetically grounded representations and constraints interact in language-specific ways. I investigate these questions using laboratory and field data, supported by computational methods. I also develop tools to make articulatory research more accessible to other researchers.
