My guest in Episode 4 is the spectacular Omnia Ibrahim! 

Omnia is a PhD student in the Computational Linguistics Department, University of Zürich, Switzerland. Her PhD project focuses on Speech dynamics as a function of channel and listener variability. Since June 2020, she has been a Research Assistant in the SFB 1102 project in the Language Science and Technology Department at Saarland University, Germany, where she is looking at the interaction between information density and channel characteristics.

How did I meet Omnia? I met Omnia in an face to face session in 2019 at the University of Zurich, where I was just a visitor and not yet a PhD student. Life happened that we also met later on in the same reading group where we still are together, and now I’m so so happy to have her as my guest on the podcast. 

Omnia, thank you so much for being my guest!
