Welcome to my website! My name is Katarzyna (Kasia) Klessa and I am a university professor at Adam Mickiewicz University in Pozna\u0144, Poland. I study how we speak, move and interact \u2013 focusing on speech timing, prosody, and multimodal communication. I also design tools and corpora that support empirical research and teaching. I greatly value teamwork and academic networking, and I enjoy collaborating across disciplines and research communities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
