Research

From 2005 until the present, I have been working with Dr. Alan W Black on the TRANSFORM project. We are trying to use articulatory position data, more specifically the MOCHA database, to improve voice transformation.

From September 2002 until 2005, I worked with Dr. Alan W Black on the Storyteller project. I worked primarily on the automatic detection of prosodic boundaries in speech, especially in the context of multi-sentence recordings that are longer than what is typically used for constructing concatenative speech synthesizers.

Previously, from August 1999 through August 2002, I worked with Dr. Roni Rosenfeld on Statistical Language Modeling and the Universal Speech Interface project.
