Hi, I am Dušan Nikolić, a phonetician who earned his PhD in Linguistics 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.

I am a recipient of the prestigious Izaak-Walton Killam Award, University of Calgary International Eyes High Award, University of Calgary Open Doctoral Award, and Dositeja Award by Serbian Ministry of Education. I was a proud member of the UofC’s Phonetics Lab, and the president of the UofC’s graduate student association, “A Higher Clause”, 

As for my non-academic activities, I was the host of the spoken word program – Linguistically Aware – which was broadcast once monthly on a local radio station, CJSW 90.9 FM. I was an usher at Calgary Theatre, and I love(d) going to plays! I am an ardent sports enthusiast, a huge fan of Partizan and Arsenal.
