Michael C. Stern is a PhD candidate in the Department of Linguistics at Yale University and a research assistant at Haskins Laboratories. Before coming to Yale, he obtained his MA in linguistics from The Graduate Center, CUNY, where he worked as a research assistant in the Second Language Acquisition Lab.

He is particularly interested in dynamical systems approaches to language and cognition, like Articulatory Phonology and Dynamic Field Theory.
