In Episode 6, my guest is Carolina Lins Machado!

Carolina is a Research Assistant and PhD student in the SNSF project Untangling the relationship between voice and face: A cross-modal approach to talker identity, supervised by Dr. Lei He, Prof. Dr. Volker Dellwo and Dr. Willemijn Heeren. She completed a BA in Linguistik und Phonetik and Informationsverarbeitung (University of Cologne, DE), followed by an MA in Theoretical and Experimental Linguistics (Leiden University, NL).

Her primary research interest is related to speaker-specific information in speech dynamics. The aim of her research is to investigate idiosyncratic behavior in the acoustic and articulatory domains.

How did I meet Carolina? We are in the same Reading Group at university, she always gives us a lot of insight into phonetics and today I’m really happy to have her as my guest on the podcast. Carolina, thank you so much for being my guest for this episode on the PhonPod!
