interface, phonetic and phonological universals, prosody,
intonational typology, Austronesian and Australian languages, endangered
languages,
and speech technology.
I lived for four years in the
Philippines and two years in Malaysia while growing up. My mother is a native
speaker of Pangasinan and Tagalog. Though my first language was Pangasinan, I
lost that heritage language when my family returned to the United States.
I lived in Alice Springs, Australia for
two years doing phonetic fieldwork on Western Arrernte. I have also done
research on languages of Oceania (Standard and Ni`ihau Hawaiian, Hawaiian
Creole English, Iaai, Tongan); North Asia (Japanese, Korean); Southeast Asia
(Palauan, Pangasinan, Tagalog); and another language of Australia (Tiwi).
I have supervised research on
Austronesian languages (Amis, Bahasa Indonesia, Cham, Chamorro, Ema,
Kadazan-Dusun, Lamaholot, Pingelapese, Pohnpeian, Saipan Carolinian, Satawalese),
languages of Mongolia (Kalmyk-Oirat), languages of New Guinea (Makasae,
Sentani), and Fukui Japanese, Khmer, Korean, Serbian, and Tibetan.
