RESEARCH INTERESTS
I have a long time interest in machine learning for temporal patterns. My particular
focus has been on the development of artificial neural networks for speech motor learning
and control with perceptual feedback. I have a strong background in speech and audio
digital signal processing, Bayesian networks and Markov models, synchronizing
resonator models, control theory, connectionist and dynamical systems, and experiment
design and statistical analyses. I am interested in applying these skills to interesting
projects while working with a diverse set of exceptional team members.
