Simón was a post-doctoral fellow on the Sydney Speaks project from 2017-2019. He completed his PhD in Australian English Phonology at the University of Newcastle, Australia (2015), and then worked as a Research Assistant at Griffith University on an ARC-funded project on phonological variation and change in West Australian English (led by Gerry Docherty, 2014-2016). Simón’s research focuses on acoustic phonetics, empowered by computational tools, and he has particular expertise in developing computational tools for maximally efficient and practical analysis/visualisation of phonetic and phonological phenomena
