My research and teaching interests have focused mainly on understanding the physical mechanisms of speech production and their interactions with perception, phonology and phonetics in normal, disordered, and children's speech, and across languages. More broadly, I am interested in how people interact with each other and their environment, and how this can inform models of linguistic communication. To these ends, some of my major research goals have involved developing techniques for applying ultrasound imaging technology to speech research, protocols for studying haptic (tactile) perception of speech, and methods for observing very low-level planning in speech motor behavior.
