My research centers on the representation, production, processing, and acquisition of language and, more generally, of knowledge. I am currently quantifying phonetic variation using corpora of spontaneous Engliush and Spanish speech and using these data to built statistical models of language representation and language change. I have also recently been involved in deveopling a featural representation of skills and learning environments that will relate learning and performance.

My research is interdisciplinary work that uses statistical, computational, distributional, and experimental methodologies, drawing on data from large corpora, psycholinguistic tasks, typological surveys, and speech errors. I am currently the Assistant to the Director for the Center for Research on Training at CU, funded by a Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) grant to investigate training of knowledge and skill.
