Speaker bio

is a professor of Psychological and Brain Sciences and Linguistics at Washington University in St. Louis. She teaches in the Linguistics program and runs the in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences. Van Engen���s area of research is human speech perception and processing, with a focus on the sensory and cognitive mechanisms that support successful communication in challenging listening conditions. She is guided by particular concerns for how linguistic experience shapes speech perception and processing and how signal-intrinsic (e.g., accent) and signal-extrinsic factors (e.g., noise) interact to modulate the success of communication.
