Research overview
Broadly speaking, I am interested in the interface between phonetics and phonology, and how that interface can inform our models of phonological representation: How much phonetic information is in the phonology? What is the nature of that information? What is left for the phonetics? In my work I strive to integrate the major insights from gestural and featural approaches, as well as neurally informed models of speech motor control.
