Research Interests
Voice source analysis, parameteric speech synthesis, voice quality modification.
Current Projects
- Designing robust strategies for parameterisation of source and filter in voiced speech.
- Applying these methods in parametric speech synthesis and voice quality modification.
- Developing methods for automatically identifying changes in voice quality in natural speech.
