Wolfram Ziegler

Prof. Wolfram Ziegler is a Professor of Neurophonetics at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, leading the Clinical Neuropsychology Research Group (EKN). His work focuses on neurogenic speech disorders such as dysarthria, apraxia of speech, and aphasia. He is affiliated with the Institute of Phonetics and Speech Processing, where he develops clinical assessment tools like the Bogenhausen Dysarthria Scales (BoDyS). Ziegler has authored/co-authored over 300 publications, including books like Bogenhäuser Dysarthrieskalen and Sprechapraxie: Grundlagen, Diagnostik, Therapie.

• Education: Not explicitly stated, but expertise reflects advanced academic training in clinical linguistics and phonetics.
• Research: Pioneers in neurophonetics, emphasizing speech motor control deficits, clinical diagnostics, and rehabilitation strategies.

His research spans auditory-perceptual analysis, speech motor disorders in neurodegenerative diseases, and technological applications (e.g., KommPaS web app). Key contributions include defining neurogenic speech disorder subtypes and validating assessment protocols.

Publications emphasize clinical utility, with over 245 journal articles and 13 books. Major works address childhood dysarthria, apraxia treatment, and Parkinson’s-related speech impairments.
