Background
I first studied Classics with Oriental Studies at the University of Milan (Italy), followed by a Research MA in Theoretical and Applied Linguistics at the University of Pavia (Italy). I continued my specialisation in phonetics and phonology at the University of York and obtained a PhD from the University of Manchester.
During my PhD, I developed a strong interest in research methods, statistics and Open Science, which I further cultivated as a post-doc researcher at the Institute for Phonetics and Speech Processing in Munich (Germany).
Qualifications
PhD in Linguistics (The University of Manchester).

Open to PhD supervision enquiries?
Yes
Areas of interest for supervision
- I am happy to supervise students in any topic within phonetics, laboratory phonology, historical phonetics/phonology, quantitative methods theory and graphemics.
- I have experience with acoustic and articulatory phonetics, using a variety of techniques (acoustic analysis, ultrasound tongue imaging, electroglottography, fMRI) so I am keen to supervise any topic using these techniques. For topics on prosody, please get in touch with my colleagues from the phonetics group.
- My main expertise within acoustic and articulatory phonetics concerns investigations of segmental characteristics like duration, phonation, voice quality, tongue gestures and laryngeal articulations.
- I have research experience with Indo-European languages, Oceanic languages and South American languages but I am keen to supervise projects on other language families (I have a particular interest in language typology and language description, specifically phonetic typology and description).
- I am happy to co-supervise dissertations in other fields within linguistics/language research if they have a very strong quantitative component (including mixed qual/quant methods).
- I am not able to supervise dissertations in developmental linguistics, bi/multilingualism, first or second language acquisition, language pathology. For these fields, please get in touch with my colleagues Antonella Sorace, Mits Ota, Vicky Chondrogianni, among others.
