About Me
Please call me Alex. I work at the Nagoya University of Business and Commerce in the Aichi prefecture of Japan. I am interested in many linguistic topics, but my research is primarily focused on psycholinguistics, speech perception, iconicity, and machine learning. The best way to contact me is using my work email alexander_kilpatrick[at]
nucba.ac.jp. I produce machine learning tutorials which revolve around the data I have collected for my publications, so if you are interesteted in either learning more about my research or machine learning, please check out my youtube channel.
