 # About Me
 Hello! I’m Megh (she/her), a 6th year PhD candidate in linguistics, with a research specialization in phonetics and computational linguistics. My dissertation research investigates the linguistic aspects of vocal entrainment and phonetic accommodation, to find a relationship between convergence in speech patterns and cooperation among speakers in a team setting.

 Previously, I worked as a GRA in the ASIST-ToMCAT project’s Speech and NLP team, where I have collaborated on projects related to multimodal modelling of human behaviour, assessment of the performance of ASR transcription services, and with the automatic collection of acoustic features for speech analysis. I have also worked as a GRA in the Douglas Phonetics Lab (University of Arizona) and Splang Lab (The English and Foreign Languages University, Hyderabad), where I assisted in running experiments, creating auditory stimuli for forced choice and eye-tracking experiments, designing speech production experiments, and with data analysis and modelling.
