Hi

I am a PhD student at the Laboratoire de Linguistique Formelle (Université Paris Cité and CNRS).

My research interests include the phonetics–phonology interface, dynamic modelling of speech, sociophonetics, cross-variety study, corpus-based research, and laboratory phonology.

I investigate the temporal patterns of vowel production and the relationships between acoustic and articulatory trajectories, e.g., f0 and formants. My work combines generalized additive mixed models (GAMMs), Bayesian regression, functional data analysis (fPCA, Function-on-Function mapping), and machine learning, with theoretical perspectives on speech dynamics, including Articulatory Phonology.
