Austin is a fourth-year PhD candidate in FSU’s School of Communication Science and Disorders. His research investigates articulatory deficits in speakers with motor speech disorders, such as dysarthria. Under the mentorship of Dr. Yunjung Kim, Austin’s research aims to link acoustic measures and their underlying articulatory gestures to inform the clinical interpretation of these measures for individuals with dysarthria. In his spare time, Austin enjoys spending time with his four-legged children, running, and watching scary movies.
