Ewan Dunbar's ('13, Linguistics) research focuses on how human cognition processes speech, trying to help use what we learn to explain why human languages have the speech sounds, and the rules for combining speech sounds, that they do, with the aid of deep learning and behavioural experiments. After working as a postdoctoral researcher for four years at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, as of 2017, he became an assistant professor in Linguistics at Université Paris Diderot (Paris 7). More about Ewan and his work can be found here.
