About
Stephen Tobin is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Michigan Department of Linguistics, working with Pam Beddor and Andries Coetzee on an NSF-funded investigation of variation in production and perception, and with Jelena Krivokapić on articulatory coordination at phrase boundaries.
His research interests are centered on phonetics—both production and perception as well as their relation, and especially as this relation is revealed in investigations of phonetic accommodation. He is also interested in integration between phonetic and lexical/sentential levels of processing.
He has experience acquiring data using EMA, real-time MRI and eye-tracking, and with stimulus preparation and data processing in E-Prime, MATLAB and R. He also has experience using and evaluating linear mixed effects models and generative additive mixed models for statistical analysis.
