My research involves many aspects of speech science and its applications: speech production, hearing, speech perception, speech acquisition, speech technology and computational paralinguistics.
Recent research activities include:
- Centre for Law-Enforcement Audio Research (CLEAR). A joint research centre with Imperial College London that investigated methods for the enhancement of degraded speech signals.
- KLAIR Virtual Infant. A machine learning toolkit for the study of the computational modelling of early speech acquisition by infants through real-time interaction with caregivers.
- Avatar Therapy. A project that investigates the use of computer avatars in the provision of therapy for sufferers of auditory hallucinations (hearing voices).
- iVOICE fatigue analysis system for the tracking of changes in fatigue of the operators of safety-critical systems.
- ELO-SPHERES project for improving binaural hearing aids for hearing-impaired listeners in realistic environments.
