I am Dušan Nikolić, a post-doctoral researcher at the Austrian Academy of Sciences. I earned my PhD in Linguistics, specializing in Phonetics, at the University of Calgary under the supervision of Dr. Stephen Winters. In my work, I want to understand what the processing mechanisms of prosodic categories are and how they relate to communication.
