Biography:

Research Interests:
The question of how spoken language users overcome variability in communicative conditions such as noisy backgrounds, conversing with  a conversation partner with a different language background etc. fascinates me. I am especially interested in studying spoken language use (i.e. speech perception, production, and learning) under ecologically typical conditions. If any of this is also interesting to you and would like to discuss, please write to me: navin (at) psu.edu.
