Catarina Oliveira, PhD, Assistant Professor at the School of Health Sciences, University of Aveiro, researcher at the Biomedical Informatics and Technologies Group of the Institute of Electronics and Informatics Engineering of Aveiro (IEETA). Her research interests encompass Experimental Phonetics, Clinical Phonetics and Language Acquisition. She worked with acoustic and articulatory techniques such as MRI, ultrasounds, and EMA to study oral and nasal vowels and liquid consonants. She participated in several national and international research projects (MEMNON, Vox Senes, Heron II, LUL, PaeLIFE, Análise e Modelamento Estatístico Inter-linguístico do Vínculo entre Produção e Percepção do Ritmo da Fala em Diferentes Estilos de Elocução), has supervised 20+ MSc thesis, PhDs and postdoctoral students and co-authored more than 80 publications.
