Education and early life

edit

Peter Howell obtained a BSc degree in Psychology and Sociology from University of Bradford. Later he moved to UCL to work as a research assistant with Professor Robert Audley. His next position, as a programmer, was at University of Sussex with Professor Chris Darwin who sparked Howell's interest in speech. This led him to pursue a PhD at UCL under the supervision of Professor Robert Audley.[3]

Career and research

After completing his PhD, Howell joined the UCL and started working on speech production. His interest in the interaction between speech perception and production led to studying stuttering. Howell's additional research interests include hearing and music. Howell helped to internationalize speech science awareness and develop research facilities in several countries: Iran, China, Japan, Brazil, Jordan, Pakistan and Qatar.[4][5]
