Jason Riggle is an Associate Professor in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Chicago, where he also serves as the director of the Chicago Language Modeling Lab and Resident Dean at Max Palevsky Residential Commons. With a PhD from the University of California, Los Angeles, obtained in 2004, his research primarily focuses on Computational Linguistics, Phonology, and Learnability. He investigates how specific grammar models, learning processes, and communication mechanics interact to predict linguistic typological patterns across the world's languages. Special attention is given to the frequencies of articulatory patterns and how these manifest in various languages and dialects. Riggle has contributed extensively to the field through notable publications including the 'Handbook of Phonological Theory' and several influential articles in respected journals like Linguistic Inquiry and Computational Linguistics.
