My interests as a researcher are related to phonetics and phonology. Both are two disciplines with a very interesting practical application, such as clinical and forensic areas. The first one is about speech disorders, speech development in childhood, speech problems in populations with rare diseases, voice disorders, relationship between phonation and health, emotion and voice ... I carried out speech profiles of populations suffering from Down syndrome, Williams syndrome and Smith Magenis syndrome. I have also developed three databases with normative and pathological children's voices. Currently, I collaborate closely with the Centro de Tecnología Biomédica of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. The second application of Phonetics and Phonology is forensics. I collaborate with the group of Forensic Linguists (ILFE), I have participated in the last editions of the Forensic Linguistics (In)formative Conferences of the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, I give courses on forensic phonetics and I am co-author of several book chapters and articles on this application of linguistics.
