Santiago Barreda is an Associate Professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of California, Davis, specializing in speech perception and phonetic analysis. His research examines how acoustic properties of speech convey speaker characteristics including age, gender, and physical attributes. Education: Ph.D. in Linguistics (Phonetics), University of Alberta, 2013 M.A. in Hispanic Studies (Language and Linguistics), University of Western Ontario, 2008 B.A. in Linguistics and Spanish Language and Literature, University of Western Ontario, 2006 Research Focus: Dr. Barreda employs behavioral experiments and statistical modeling to investigate perceptual mechanisms in speech recognition.
