Daniel Francisco Recasens Vives is a Professor in the Department of Catalan Studies at the University of Barcelona, with an h-index of 25 and 1,778 citations. His research spans over 40 years with 207 publications and leadership in 11 major research projects funded by Spain's Ministry of Science. His educational background includes dual PhDs in Romance Philology from Universitat de Barcelona (1985) and Linguistics from University of Connecticut (1983), preceded by corresponding undergraduate degrees from the same institutions. Earlier career positions included research assistant at Haskins Laboratories (1981-1984) and teaching roles at Yale and Connecticut universities (1980-1982). Research focuses on articulatory phonetics , particularly coarticulation phenomena, sound change mechanisms, and vowel-consonant interactions in Romance languages. His lab employs ultrasound imaging to study tongue movements in Catalan speech production, examining stop-liquid sequences, fricative assimilation, and vowel modification processes. Recent work extends to Romanian vowel systems and historical evolution of Romance consonant clusters. Analysis of recent publications reveals consistent specialization in experimental phonetics methodology, with increasing emphasis on ultrasound technology since 2010. His research demonstrates strong continuity from early work on Catalan VCV sequences (1983) to current studies on Romance language evolution, maintaining core focus on articulatory constraints in phonological processes. He has supervised 6 graduate theses and mentored junior researchers including F. Sánchez Miret and M.D.M. Massanell Messalles. Current projects investigate phonetic variation in contrastive vowels (2019-2022) and ultrasound analysis of coarticulation (2014-2017). His research group collaborates internationally with institutions including Haskins Laboratories and researchers in Germany (M. Zygis), Poland, and Italy (G. Abete). The team maintains strong ties with Catalan linguistic communities while contributing to broader Romance and theoretical phonetics frameworks.

Matteo Pellegrini is a researcher at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Italy and collaborates with the University of Surrey through a fellowship focused on the computational analysis of language evolution. This project, hosted by Professor Erich Round from the School of Literature and Languages, investigates how Latin diversified into Romance languages like French, Italian, Spanish, and Romanian within 2000 years. Dr. Pellegrini’s work integrates open language data with advanced computational simulations to study paradigm evolution—such as why some languages have four verb forms while others have over a hundred—and historical transformations shaping Romance languages. His research bridges computational methods with linguistic theory to uncover evolutionary constraints and historical 'chess moves' in language development.
