Research interest: Phonetics, Prosody, Intonation, Phonetic Typology, Iroquoian languages
Email: richard.j.hatcher.jr@gmail.com
Richard Hatcher is a post-doctoral researcher at Hanyang Institute for Phonetics and Cognitive Sciences. He recently received his PhD in Linguistics from the State University of New York at Buffalo in the summer of 2022, with a dissertation entitled "the Phonetics and Phonology of Cayuga Prosody." His research involves the phonetic documentation and description of prosodic features of less studied Iroquoian languages, including Cayuga, Seneca, and Oneida as well as the development of tools to assist in such linguistic documentation. He is currently investigating tonal alignment in Seoul Korean.

Daeyong Lee
Post-doc
Research interest: Phonetics, phonology, psycholinguistics
Email: daeyonglee@hanyang.ac.kr
Dae-yong Lee is a postdoctoral researcher at Hanyang Institute for Phonetics and Cognitive Sciences. He received his PhD in Linguistics from the University of Oregon, with a dissertation entitled “Factors that Affect Generalization of Adaptation”. Dae-yong is interested in the cognitive processes underlying speech perception and production. He is especially interested in mechanisms underlying adaption and generalization to unfamiliar speech and factors that affect the initiation and maintenance of clear speech.
