Tobias Riede is a researcher affiliated with the National Center for Voice and Speech and a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Biology at the University of Utah. He conducts research on the physiology and functional morphology of sound production in vertebrates. Comparative analysis of living animals provides a useful tool for the understanding of the mechanisms of vocal communication, including humans and the evolution of human speech.
