As a phonetician and speech scientist, Garellek is broadly interested in the mapping between speech articulation, acoustics, and perception, focusing in particular on how these mappings pertain to the voice, and on the role of the voice in conveying linguistic meaning. His work has covered a wide range of languages, notably English, Korean, Tongan, Mazatec, and White Hmong. Garellek completed his Ph.D. in Linguistics at UCLA in 2013, and is originally from Montreal, Canada. His website is http://idiom.ucsd.edu/~mgarellek/Home.html.
