Morgan Sonderegger is Assistant Professor of Linguistics at McGill University (Montreal, Canada), where he is also affiliated with the Centre for Brain, Language, and Music and the School of Computer Science.  His research addresses the structure and causes of variability in speech sounds, particularly variability over time, both within individual speakers and in communities.  He studies these topics by building computational and statistical models of variability in datasets from diverse sources, such as reality television, rhyming poetry, and behavioural experiments. He is also interested in developing quantitative methods for linguistics, especially drawing on methods from machine learning and automatic speech recognition.
