I am Professor of Phonetics in the Department of Linguistics at Stockholm University. Prior to joining Stockholm University, I completed my PhD in Linguistics with a specialisation in Phonetics at Bielefeld University (2014). In 2018, I was awarded the title of Docent in Phonetics.

My research focuses on the relationship between the physiology of speech production and its communicative functions in spontaneous conversation. I have led projects on communicative and prosodic functions of speech breathing (Breathing in Conversation) and phonation (Prosodic Functions of Voice Quality Dynamics).

I am currently the Principal Investigator of the project Body Posture as a Window into the Biological Foundations of Speech (funded by the Swedish Research Council, 2026–2029), which examines how gravity and body position influence speech production and the compensatory mechanisms involved.
