Dr. Reiko Kataoka joined SJSU in 2012 as a lecturer, and since then she has taught a variety of courses including a graduate seminar in phonology and undergraduate courses in phonetics, phonology, and evolution of sound communication systems. Her teaching philosophy is characterized by an emphasis on conceptual understanding and a commitment to instructor-student and student-student interactions.

Dr. Kataoka has been trained in phonetics, laboratory phonology, and psycholinguistics. Her main research interest is to investigate how humans perceive speech, meaning how humans map continuous and variable acoustic signals to stable mental representations. Her current research topics center around plasticity and variability of human auditory system and their relationship to historical sound change.
