Brigitte Charlier is a researcher affiliated with the Université libre de Bruxelles, active in the Language, Cognition, Development (LC-LD) lab under the CRCN research center. Her work focuses on multimodal language perception and hearing disabilities, particularly in deaf children with cochlear implants and cued speech interventions.

• Key research themes: cochlear implant speech processing, bilingual speech production, cued speech applications
• Collaborates with Cécile Colin and other speech-language therapy experts

Her recent publications examine speech accuracy in bilingual children, short-term memory dimensions in implant users, and reading comprehension interventions. While no formal awards are documented, her research has been presented at major conferences like the European Speech and Language Therapy Association Congress.

Students supervised include Van der Straten Waillet, P., whose dissertation investigated bilingual speech therapy practices. Charlier's lab (LC-LD) investigates language development in deaf populations, with multidisciplinary projects involving speech acoustics, neuroimaging, and educational interventions.
