Trevin Garcia | Linguistics
Garcia's research interests are in phonetics and dialect change. He has previously done research on the Latinx English dialect used in Southwest Kansas. He would like to continue his research in phonetics by examining how body modifications affect speech.
Hyoju Kim | Linguistics
Kim's research interests focus on phonology, phonetic sciences, and second language acquisition, specifically how native speakers perceive foreign words. His main goal is to study more about loanword phonology and discover many phonological and phonetic factors that might attribute to the foreign language acquisition.
