Hello! I’m a PhD candidate at the Linguistics Department at the University of British Columbia. My dissertation looks into the contribution of voice similarity and perceived standardness in speech processing. Do we, as listeners, have an easier time processing speech that is (1) perceived as more standard and (2) in a voice similar to our own? How do we define stadardness and similarity?

My supervisor is Molly Babel. My committee members are Márton Sóskuthy, Jian Zhu and Alexis Black.
