Her research centers on speech science, with a focus on vocal fry, voicing contrasts, and acoustic correlates of speech production in both Parisian French and American English. She investigates phonetic phenomena such as regressive voicing assimilation in French stops and the prevalence and acoustic patterns of vocal fry in young adult speakers. Her work bridges experimental cognitive psychology and clinical linguistics.
The recent publications highlight a strong trend in acoustic phonetics and sociophonetic variation, particularly in voice quality and speech production. Her studies frequently analyze stop consonants, sibilants, and glottal phonation across languages, using rigorous acoustic measurements. The recurring themes include vocal fry, voicing assimilation, and cross-linguistic speech patterns.
