McLing would like to welcome Josh Lee to the Linguistics department! Josh is a postdoctoral researcher working with Morgan Sonderegger and Meghan Clayards.
Seung Suk (Josh) Lee (he/him) works on corpus phonetics, prosody, and computational phonology. His main interest is studying how segmental realization is conditioned by prosodic structure in production and how it serves as a cue for prosodic structure in perception. He completed his BA degree at Indiana University Bloomington and recently received Ph.D. at UMass Amherst. His thesis, supervised by Kristine Yu, John Kingston and Mara Breen, is on the relationship between acoustic realization of laryngeal categories and prosodic structure in Seoul Korean. He plans to continue his investigation on acoustic correlates of prosodic structure in other languages using corpus data. Besides linguistics, he likes to watch (street) food documentaries, and watch soccer and (Korean) baseball.
