Tom Offrede

Tom Offrede is an active researcher focused on interdisciplinary studies at the intersection of speech science, linguistics, and human-robot interaction. His work systematically investigates phonetic convergence, adaptive speech behaviors, and physiological correlates of communication.

• Core affiliations: VIVO researcher network (active 2021-2024)

Research Interests:
Tom specializes in speech adaptation mechanisms through experimental paradigms. His expertise covers:
- Phonetic convergence in multi-speaker interactions
- Physiological influences (respiration, arousal) on speech production
- Cross-modal entrainment in human-robot communication
- Methodological innovations for studying real-time linguistic adaptation

Publication Trends:
Over the past decade, Tom has published 11+ peer-reviewed works with particular emphasis on:
- Developing novel interactional paradigms (2021)
- Analyzing gaze-mediated communication dynamics (2023)
- Investigating bio-phonetic adaptation (2022-2024)
His research often combines acoustic analysis with behavioral and physiological measurements.
