Clara D. Martin is an Ikerbasque research professor at the BCBL (Basque Center on Cognition, Brain and Language, San Sebastián, Spain), leader of the research group “Speech and Bilingualism”.

Her research group also focuses on language learning, exploring how we learn to perceive and produce novel sounds and words, and how those processes can be optimized.
