Rasmus Puggaard-Rode is Associate Professor of Phonetics, the study of the sounds of human speech. His research combines corpus and experimental methods to untangle the many ways in which systematic and categorical differences between the sounds of language can be realized in running speech, and what this means for our understanding of the structure of language. This work involves working with both well-described Nordic languages and under-resourced languages of south-east Asia and Australia. He also works on developing general-purpose tools and pipelines for processing, analysing, and visualizing speech data.
