Our experts are leading research in: 

• Voice biometrics and anti-spoofing countermeasures 
• Automatic inference of emotion and distress from speech 
• Automatic inference of mental state. Examples include cognitive ability and impairment, and depression from speech 
• Automatic pronunciation detection 
• Machine learning 
• Affective computing 

We translate our research into:  

• Monitoring mental state via smartphone
