  • Biography

    Heejin Kim is one of the research staff in the Department of Linguistics. She is a visiting research scientist with a primary affiliation in Biologically Informed Artificial Intelligence.

    Education

    • Ph.D., linguistics, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2006

    • MA., korean linguistics, Yonsei University, 1996

    • BA., korean language and literature, Yonsei University, 1994

  • Research

    Research Interests:

    • Experimental phonetics

    • Speech production and perception

    • Motor speech disorder

    • Translational research

    Dr Kim's research focuses on (1) understanding the acoustic and perceptual correlates of segmental and prosodic categories in normal speech, (2) understanding the nature of acoustic degradation in motor speech disorder and its impact on speech intelligibility, and (3) developing evidence-based communication aids that are effective and functional in real-world situations for people with communication disorders.
