Research Interests
The question of how spoken language users overcome variability in communicative conditions such as noisy backgrounds, conversing with a conversation partner with a different language background etc. fascinates me. I am especially interested in studying spoken language use (i.e. speech perception, production, and learning) under ecologically typical conditions. These include conditions of actual spoken interaction, in real world settings, and involving conversation partners who differ in language backgrounds and/or language abilities.
