Teaching & PhD Supervision

PhD supervision

Current

• Rakgyun Shin (AHRC funded; co-supervised with Sebastian Muth)
• Scarlett Vanroose-Peer (ESRC funded; co-supervised with George Brown)

Supervision interests

I am interested in supervising students in the areas of forensic speech science and sociophonetics, and especially welcome proposals in these areas that address issues related to multilingualism and/or take an experimental approach. Within forensic speech science, I am interested in phonetics-centred proposals that concern voice and identity in production and/or perception.

You are welcome to reach out to me for informal enquiries, but you should consult the Lancaster website for information and guidance on PhD applications and funding in the first instance.
