Vincenzo is currently studying Italian philology at the Freie Universität Berlin. His background in sound design and audio engineering give him a solid knowledge of acoustics and high curiosity in phonetics, phonology and prosody. Previously working as an English, German and Italian teacher, he also focuses on language acquisition and is very motivated to conduct further research in the fields of linguistics and didactics.

Clara is a student of Italian philology at the Freie Universität Berlin. Having worked as a student assistant in an adjacent field, she is eager to broaden her perspective on other linguistic topics, including the phonological phenomena researched in this project. Her academic interests also extend to empirical linguistics, particularly in the areas of language variation and experimental approaches to phonology.

Eleonora holds a Master’s degree in Linguistics from Sapienza University of Rome (2022/2023) and is currently doing an internship (Erasmus + Traineeship Mobility) at Freie Universität Berlin (by Prof. Sascha Gaglia). She has a strong interest in linguistics and its broad field of study, with a particular focus on experimental approaches. She is especially interested in interdisciplinary approaches that combine linguistics and psychology, exploring how language interacts with cognitive processes.

Vincent is studying statistics in the joint master’s programme of the HU, FU, TU and Charité in Berlin. After completing his bachelor’s degree in psychology, he gained experience in research and business, contributing to scientific articles, taking on data engineering tasks and designing, conducting and analysing surveys. As a member of the fu:stat team at FU Berlin, he advises academics on statistical questions. He is especially intrigued by delving into diverse areas of statistics, with a particular interest in qualitative fields such as linguistics.
