Anders Eriksson is an emeritus professor in phonetics at Stockholm University. He is an active researcher in areas of linguistics/phonetics such as acoustic phonetics, speech perception, forensic phonetics and forensic psychology. He has been active in forensic phonetic case work and is a member in The International Association for Forensic Phonetics and Acoustics (IAFPA).
