Biography
Tim Laméris was at the Phonetics Lab as PhD student and Teaching Associate in Phonetics from 2018-2022. He is currently at Leiden University. His PhD research, supervised by Brechtje Post, investigated the influences of language background and non-linguistic factors (such as musical experience and working memory) on the ability to learn words in tone languages. He is also interested in Japanese linguistics and taught Japanese language courses in the Faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies during his time at Cambridge.
