Adjunct Fellows

Assistant Professor Simon Todd

Simon Todd (Ngāi Tahu) is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of California Santa Barbara, where he directs the Computational Psycholinguistics of Listening and Speaking (CPLS) Lab. He is a computational psycholinguist with a focus on speech perception. A central theme in his work is the way that small-scale cognitive processes associated with in-the-moment listening can have large-scale, long-term implications for linguistic knowledge and behavior. He also has interests in interactions between phonetics/phonology and morphological and syntactic structure, which he and others at NZILBB are currently exploring in te reo Māori.

Dr. Todd is a UC alumnus who has been affiliated with NZILBB in multiple roles since its inception, from student, to research assistant, to postdoctoral fellow, and now collaborating researcher. He visits NZILBB annually.

 

NZILBB Strategic Fellows

NZILBB has established a Strategic Fellows initiative where fellows can come and work with members of NZILBB for up to 4 weeks and we will contribute to the cost of airfare and accommodation. This is a contestable funding round where NZILBB calls for applications.
