Youkyung Bae

Youkyung Bae studies how the mouth, throat, and nasal passages work together to produce speech and singing sounds, with particular attention to nasality (the perceived 'nasal' quality of speech) and conditions like cleft palate. Much of this work uses imaging techniques such as MRI to examine structures like the soft palate and throat muscles, as well as perceptual and acoustic studies of how listeners judge nasal-sounding speech across dialects and singing styles.

Publication output has been fairly steady but modest over the last decade, averaging roughly 1-2 papers per year with no clear upward or downward trend.
