My research interests are in speech analytics and language intelligence, ranging from speaker recognition, language and accent recognition, speech recognition, diarization, sound classification, voice biometrics, and security, spoofing, and countermeasure. My research centers around the theme of using AI and technology to improve productivity and our daily life (a.k.a. use-inspired basic research), while acknowledging the importance of making AI accessible and explainable is the way moving forward.
