Stanford Speech & Cognitive Development Lab · Stanford University

Meg Cychosz is an assistant professor of linguistics at Stanford where she directs the Speech and Cognitive Development Lab. In her research, Dr. Cychosz studies how infants and children from a variety of backgrounds (children who are d/Deaf or hard-of-hearing, children with typical hearing, multilingual children) develop speech and learn to produce and process sounds and words. To understand this, Dr. Cychosz has worked with children from all over the world (Bolivia, Mexico, France, Spain, the United States) in an interdisciplinary research program that combines techniques from linguistics, natural language processing, developmental psychology, and electrical engineering. Dr. Cychosz holds a Master 1 in Phonetics from Université Sorbonne Nouvelle-Paris 3 and an M.A./Ph.D. in Linguistics from the University of California, Berkeley. She completed postdoctoral training at the University of Maryland Cochlear Implant Center for Excellence/Center for Comparative and Evolutionary Biology of Hearing.
