Aude Noiray (PhD, HDR)

Experimental psycholinguist, LPNC, Université Grenoble Alpes

I am a senior researcher at the Laboratoire de Psychologie & Neurocognition (LPNC) at the University Grenoble Alpes (UGA), and co-head of the Babylab with Olivier Pascalis.

I am passionate about speech, language, and their development. My research lies at the intersection of several disciplines, including experimental, articulatory and acoustic phonetics; psycholinguistics; laboratory phonology; developmental psychology and biology. My most recent projects focus on the (a)typical development of spoken language fluency. I study the evolving connections between speech motor control, perception, phonology, vocabulary and reading. Other projects include vocal development in infants, speech production and perception in patients with pathological speech. My research is empirically grounded. I collect kinematic, acoustic and behavioural data using ultrasound imaging, audiovisual recordings, eye tracking, or developmental assessments.

When I am not researching, I am in the mountains, hiking. There is nothing more energising and inspiring for me than being in the mountains.

Dec 06, 2025 Following the Journées de la Phonétique Clinique in Sète, I collaborated on a podcast from la SURO. It talks about 3 collaborative studies: (1) vocal and respiratory development in infants, (2) the development of spoken and reading fluency in primary school children and (3) post stroke aphasia. The podcast is available on spotify.
Dec 05, 2025 We are offering a Master internship (M2), starting in January or February, 2026.
