I am a professor in the Department of Linguistics, and also have appointments in the Cognitive Science Program and the Department of East Asian Studies. My research is in the areas of phonetics, experimental phonology, and psycholinguistics, focusing on speech perception. I direct the Douglass Phonetics Lab. I also work on language revitalization for the dormant Native American language Mutsun Costanoan, formerly spoken in coastal California) My language interests are Japanese, Dutch, and Mutsun.
