Research
Our research moves between muscle, movement, acoustics, perception, and computation. Current projects include the following areas.
Acoustic–articulatory correspondence
How vowel acoustics, tongue posture, and speech motor control change across different head angles.
Mandarin high-vowel rounding
Automated extraction and analysis of lip postures from speech-production data.
Phonetic detail in speech plans
How musical training and physiological constraints shape duration, pitch, and planned responses.
Auditory perturbation
The roles of feedforward and feedback control in planning and executing speech.
Taiwan Mandarin sound merger
The contribution of tongue posture to nasal and sibilant mergers in Taiwan Mandarin.
Secondary articulation in Horpa
The articulatory mechanisms involved in secondary articulation in vowels.
