I am interested in phonetics, phonology and their interface, with special interests in intonation and pragmatics, Greek dialects, dialectology and sociophonetics. Here are some of my current/recent projects:

I am a co-investigator in the ESRC project ‘Mapping Prosodic Convergence in the Eastern Mediterranean,’ which investigates the area of the Eastern Mediterranean and compares language varieties of Greek, Turkish, Italian, Croatian and Arabic as spoken in Cyprus, and coastal areas of Greece, Italy, and Croatia, with mainland/inland equivalents, using audio recordings to investigate how geographical location and time influence prosodic convergence. 

Before that I was a co-investigator in the John Fell Fund project 'Mapping prosodic convergence in Cyprus: a geo-historical acoustic investigation of the effects of insularity at a linguistic crossroads', which investigated how geographical and temporal factors influence the sharing of prosody across typologically diverse languages spoken within Cyprus. 

I led the ESRC funded project ‘Greek in Contact’, which examined the impact of long-term language contact on the intonational patterns of Greek varieties, whose speakers lived and interacted with Turkish and Italian speaking populations. 

I was a co-investigator on a BA funded project ‘Components of Intonation and the Structure of Intonational Meaning’ examining the longstanding debate on the compositionality of intonational meaning, that is, whether intonation contributes to utterance meaning holistically or consists of primitives each contributing independently.

I led an NSRF European Regional Development Grant ‘VOCALECT’, comparing the vocalic systems of several Greek varieties.
