معرفی
Steven Lulich is an Associate Professor in the Department of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences at Indiana University Bloomington within the College of Arts & Sciences, specializing in experimental speech production research. His work bridges anatomy, articulation, acoustics, and aerodynamics with phonological systems across theoretical and clinical domains.
Education:
- Ph.D. from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2006)
- B.A. from Dartmouth College (2002)
His primary research focuses on speech production modeling, 3D/4D ultrasound imaging techniques, and physiological aspects including speech breathing and laryngeal function. He investigates cross-linguistic patterns in child phonological acquisition, adult phonology/phonetics, and speech disorders through innovative experimental methodologies. His laboratory pioneered routine 3D/4D ultrasound applications in speech research, advancing articulatory measurement capabilities.
Recent publications (2015-2017) reveal three dominant research thrusts: biomechanical analysis of articulation during musical performance, subglottal acoustics in respiratory physiology, and perceptual adaptation in vowel processing. These works span speech science, acoustics, and cognitive psychology with strong emphasis on instrumental measurement techniques.
Scientific Awards: No awards documented in source material.
Dr. Lulich directs the Speech Production Laboratory equipped for comprehensive speech physiology studies including aerodynamic measurements, laryngeal monitoring, and advanced ultrasound imaging. His research program integrates engineering approaches with linguistic theory to address fundamental questions in speech production and perception.
