Employment

In 2017, I received a Habilitation in Linguistics and Phonetics from the University of Zurich. I have a PhD in Linguistics from the University of Geneva (with Prof. Eric Wehrli and Prof. Uli Frauenfelder), in which I examined several aspects related to temporal variables in speech production and perception, in L1 and L2, and in natural and in synthetic speech. The thesis is available here. Within the framework of my PhD, I spent a year at the Speech Perception Laboratory (Northeastern University, Boston) thank to a SNF grant for Jeune Chercheur, working with Prof. Joanne Miller on the impact of speech rate on word segmentation. After having a Licence ès Lettres (Linguistics, Spanish, German) from the University of Neuchâtel (Switzerland), I received a Diplôme d’Etudes Approfondies in Computational Linguistics from University of Geneva.
