Ingrid Aichert

Dr. Ingrid Aichert is a researcher in the Clinical Neuropsychology Research Group (EKN) at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, specializing in neurogenic speech and language disorders. She has been affiliated with the university since 2002, contributing to studies on apraxia of speech, aphasic phonological disorders, and speech motor planning. Her work integrates neurophysiological and clinical approaches to understand speech production deficits and develop evidence-based therapies.

Education:

• PhD in Speech Pathology, University of Potsdam (2007)
• Studies in German Language & Literature and Psychology, Goethe University Frankfurt (1995–1996)
• Speech Pathology degree, University of Potsdam (1996–2002)

Research Interests: Her research focuses on neurophonetics, functional predictors of communicative outcomes in speech disorders, and the role of metrical patterns in speech recovery. She investigates how rhythmic entrainment and auditory priming can aid patients with Parkinson's disease and apraxia of speech.

Teaching: She leads seminars on apraxia diagnostics/therapy, aphasia management, and dyslexia/dysgraphia. Her pedagogical work emphasizes model-based clinical practice and evidence-based interventions.

Labs/Teams: She is part of the Institute of Phonetics and Speech Processing (IPS) and the Clinical Neuropsychology Development Group (EKN), collaborating on interdisciplinary projects in speech motor control and neurorehabilitation.
