Communication Across the Life Span Biosketch
Valerie Hazan is a professor of speech sciences in the Department of Speech, Hearing and Phonetic Sciences, Uni- versity College London (UCL), London, UK, and chair of the department since 2014. She is a Fellow of the Acousti- cal Society of America. She received her PhD in speech sciences from UCL
in 1986. She has been an academic at UCL since then and is also a visiting professor at the MARCS Institute in Syd- ney, NSW, Australia. Her research interests are in speaker- listener interaction in speech communication, within- and between-speaker variability, and the development of speech perception and production in typical and atypical popula- tions.
