معرفی
Elizabeth D. Casserly is an Associate Professor of Psychology at Trinity College, where she has served since 2013. Her research focuses on human cognition, speech, and communication, integrating interdisciplinary approaches from linguistics, neuroscience, computer science, and the speech and hearing sciences. She holds a courtesy appointment in the Neuroscience Program and coordinates the Cognitive Science minor at Trinity. Her work emphasizes the interplay between diverse fields to understand cognitive processes, including studies on speech production under sensory degradation and the development of assistive technologies like real-time vocoders.
Educations: Ph.D. and M.A. in Linguistics and Psychological & Brain Sciences from Indiana University, Bloomington; B.A. in Linguistics from Yale College.
Research Interests: Speech perception/production, sensorimotor control, cochlear implant simulation, phonetics, prosody-syntax interfaces, and language development in children with hearing impairments. Her recent work explores how speakers adapt to degraded auditory and somatosensory feedback and the long-term linguistic outcomes for cochlear implant users.
Publications focus on topics like speech motor adaptation, prosodic boundaries in syntax, and the design of ecological valid speech perception tools. She actively collaborates with institutions in computer science and engineering to advance technologies for auditory learning.
Labs/Teams: Involved in interdisciplinary projects at Trinity College’s Neuroscience Program and Cognitive Science initiative. Her research group develops tools for real-time acoustic simulation and studies motor learning dynamics in clinical populations.
