Alumni (list and links always in progress!)

Note: Here is how these links work:  A link from the name is to a current individual webpage if there is one, otherwise to a page from UCLA days [but be aware this would not be kept updated].  A link from text after the name is to a department or company, rather than to an individual page.  If both name and following text are blue, then there is one of each kind.

Local Colleagues

The Phonetics Lab enjoys research connections with other local groups and scientists: Abeer Alwan's Speech Processing and Auditory Perception Laboratory in the EE Department, Bruce Gerratt, Dave Berry, Yvonne Sininger, and Jody Kreiman in the Medical School's Division of Head and Neck Surgery Bureau of Glottal Affairs, and at USC, Dani Byrd in the Linguistics Department Phonetics Lab and Shri Narayanan in the Electrical Engineering Department.
 

How can I become a member of the UCLA Phonetics Lab?

GRAD STUDENTS: Most students in the lab are in the graduate program in Linguistics.   Click here for information about graduate admissions.  The department can sponsor students on official exchange programs, "Non-degree objective" students, and informal visiting students.

POSTDOCS:   There are no paid research positions for Ph.D.s in the phonetics lab.  The NIH training program which we used to have, is no more.  Postdocs with their own fellowships interested in being sponsored by someone here are most welcome to contact that person directly.

VISTING SCHOLARS: Ph.D.s from other universities interested in courtesy appointments should first request sponsorship by an individual faculty member in the lab.  The official appointment (Visiting Scholar, or something less formal), including visa, will then be arranged by department staff.  However, such visiting appointments are not always possible, depending on the availability and current interests of the faculty.  See the department's page about Visiting Scholars
for more information.
