I am primarily interested in experimental phonetics and how it can inform phonological theory,
with a particular interest on the role of consonant-tone interaction, tone and phonation. I haveworked on a variety of languages including Thai, Zhuang, and Korean. My teaching expertise
extends from theoretical & experimental linguistics to English instruction for second-language
learners in Thailand and Japan.
