Dr. Martyn Smith serves as Senior Lecturer in Japanese Studies within the Department of East Asian Studies at the University of Sheffield's School of Languages, Arts and Societies. He joined the institution in 2019 after holding academic positions at Newcastle University, Birkbeck, Winchester University, SOAS, and Tokyo University of Foreign Studies (where he was Visiting Assistant Professor in 2018). His educational background includes BA and MA degrees in European Studies and French, followed by a PhD from SOAS (University of London) completed in 2014. After initial teaching experience in France, he spent seven years living in Japan's Kanto region working as an English language teacher before transitioning to academia. BA in European Studies and French MA in European Studies and French PhD from School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London (2014) Smith's research centers on interdisciplinary sound studies within Asian contexts, examining how sound perception shapes gender, racial, and national identities through colonial and post-colonial experiences. His work decenters Western perspectives to analyze modernity in Asia through sound culture. Additional long-standing interests include Japanese nationalism, gender construction in media, and consumer society development in postwar Japan. His publication trends reveal a clear evolution from early focus on media and consumerism in Cold War Japan toward contemporary sound studies. The 2022-2023 period shows concentrated output on Asian sound cultures, particularly examining recording technology, aurality, and mobility within postwar contexts. Earlier work (2016-2018) established foundations in gendered consumerism through analyses of men's magazines like Heibon Punch. Smith co-founded the multi-year Asian Sound Culture Studies and Modernity Project with colleagues in Tokyo and the British Library. This collaborative initiative has produced significant outputs including the 2022 edited volume Asian Sound Cultures . His teaching portfolio includes core modules on East Asian studies, Japanese history, and gender identities. Current courses include EAS1000 (Exploring East Asia), EAS1032 (Understanding Japan 2), and EAS21008 (Gender and Identities in East Asia).

Ellen Gurman Bard is a Reader in the Department of Linguistics and English Language at the University of Edinburgh's School of Philosophy, Psychology, and Language Sciences, and an Associate of the Human Communication Research Centre in the School of Informatics. Her academic career centers on experimental psycholinguistics, investigating the interplay between speech production and perception, and the cognitive mechanisms underlying dialogue. Her research explores two interconnected themes: the acoustic under-determinacy of running speech and its implications for speech recognition and production, and the role of listener modeling in audience design during dialogue. She examines how factors such as shared knowledge, predictability, and attention influence word intelligibility and articulation patterns, often using controlled dialogue corpora like the Map Task and eye-tracking methodologies in the Joint Eye-Tracking Laboratory. Recent publications demonstrate her expertise in experimental linguistics, with studies spanning determiner selection in Romance languages, eye-tracking in two-person tasks, auxiliary selection in Italian verbs, and structural influences on French accent placement. Her work bridges theoretical linguistics, cognitive science, and human-computer interaction, frequently involving large-scale collaborative projects. Scientific Awards: No specific awards, prizes, or fellowships are listed in the available profile information. Dr. Bard supervises graduate students, with recent MSc advisees including: Helen Robson Anna Pande Eirini Kelmali and PhD students: Margaret Mitchell Erin Brown Alice Foucart Hannele Nicholson Anastasia Mangana Evangelia Plemmenou Max Louwerse Her research is supported by grants from the NSF (iMAP project), EC Framework VI (JAST project), and EPSRC (MONITOR and ERF projects). She co-directs the Joint Eye-Tracking Laboratory (JEL), which investigates joint attention and action during collaborative tasks, utilizing eye-tracking technology to understand how humans coordinate in real-time interaction.

James W. Lewis is a Professor and Vice-Chair for Education at the West Virginia University School of Medicine, holding dual appointments in the Department of Neuroscience and the Rockefeller Neuroscience Institute. His research focuses on understanding how the human brain processes auditory information, particularly in relation to multisensory integration and natural sound recognition. PhD, California Institute of Technology Dr. Lewis's research explores the neural mechanisms underlying auditory object perception, with particular interest in how the brain categorizes and processes different types of natural sounds. His work employs functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate cortical networks responsible for recognizing sounds produced by humans, animals, mechanical devices, and environmental sources. He has made significant contributions to understanding the fourfold cortical dissociation for representing different categories of action sounds, demonstrating how distinct brain regions process human, animal, mechanical, and environmental sounds. His recent publications reveal a consistent focus on auditory neuroscience with increasing attention to clinical applications in autism spectrum disorder and medical education innovation. A notable trend is his exploration of how high-level perceptual attributes like concreteness, effectuality, and spatial scale influence cortical processing of natural sounds, advancing models of grounded cognition for acoustic knowledge representation. Dr. Lewis leads a research program utilizing 3 Tesla functional magnetic resonance imaging at the Center for Advanced Imaging at WVU. His lab employs a full-scale simulation-MRI scanner to train children for neuroimaging studies, particularly those with autism spectrum disorder. The team investigates how the brain processes auditory information in both typical development and neurodevelopmental conditions, with findings having implications for biologically inspired hearing aid algorithms.
