I am an Associate Professor at the College of Staten Island, City University of New York (CUNY), and a faculty member in the doctoral programs in Linguistics and Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences at the CUNY Graduate Center.
My research program focuses on speech motor control and motor speech disorders, including speech production under altered anatomical and biomechanical constraints. I examine articulatory coordination, variability, and adaptive behavior across typical speakers and individuals with speech disorders using multimodal imaging and kinematic tracking techniques. By bridging experimental speech science and clinical practice, my work aims to both refine theoretical models of speech production and inform evidence-based approaches to diagnosis and intervention.
