Takayuki Nagamine
I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Speech,
Hearing and Phonetic Sciences (SHaPS), University College London for
the Leverhulme-funded project “Speech production processes in
resolving articulatory variation”. Before this, I completed a
PhD at the Department
of Linguistics and English Language, Lancaster University in
November 2024, where I investigated acoustic/articulatory dynamics of L2
English liquids produced by L1 Japanese speakers using ultrasound tongue
imaging and quantitative data analysis methods.
