Ruaridh Purse

About

Hello! My name is Ruaridh (['ɹu.ɹi]) Purse, and I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Phonetics at the University of Michigan, where I work with Jelena Krivokapić and Pam Beddor.

I received my PhD in Linguistics from the University of Pennsylvania, where my advisor was Meredith Tamminga, and I was closely affiliated with both the Variation & Cognition and Phonetics labs.

I specialise in Phonetics, Phonology and Sociolinguistics, and using mixed methods to explore the interplay between structural and psycho-physiological factors in the production and perception of phonetic variation.

I am Scottish, having grown up near Glasgow and studied at the University of Edinburgh. When I'm not doing linguistics, I enjoy playing musical instruments and eating good food.
