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).

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.
- 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 (unless it's a co-supervision). For these fields, please get in touch with my colleagues Antonella Sorace, Mits Ota, Vicky Chondrogianni, among others.
