Dr. Susanne Fuchs will hold the ILCB- IMéRA chair this semester. Her research explores multimodality in communication, the biological foundations of speech, specifically speech breathing, and speech motor control.
Together with her colleagues Dr Susanne Fuchs investigated: respiratory, tongue, jaw and laryngeal motions in speech production; the coordination between speech and gesture; individual differences in vocal tract anatomy and how they can matter; on aerodynamics; speech prosody, as well as the intertwined relations between limb motion, respiration and speech production.
Dr. Fuchs was the vice director of the Leibniz-Centre of General Linguistics (2021-2023) and the group leader of the Laboratory Phonology group (2017-2023) and has stepped down to concentrate on research. She is an Associate Editor of the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, a member of AcademiaNet, a platform for excellent female researchers, and a member of the Steering committee of the Priority Program “Visual Communication” which investigates the special features and linguistic significance of visual communication.
