Christopher Geissler is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Linguistics at Boston College. He holds a Ph.D. from Yale University's Department of Linguistics and has previously served as a postdoctoral researcher at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf and as faculty at Carleton College. His research focuses on articulatory and acoustic phonetics, particularly in Tibetan and diaspora languages, exploring speech production, phonological representation, and sound change. He has published extensively on topics such as articulatory timing, tonal phonology, and linguistic pedagogy.
Education: B.A., Swarthmore College; M.A. and Ph.D., Yale University. His work integrates experimental methods (e.g., Electromagnetic Articulography) and computational modeling (e.g., TADA, VocalTractLab). Notable contributions include the Diaspora Tibetan Speech corpus and studies on gender bias in linguistic examples.
Teaching philosophy emphasizes backward design, alternative grading, and student-centered learning. Active in scholarly teaching initiatives, he collaborates on projects like interactive phonetics review units and pedagogy research.
