I work at Nuance in New York.
I received my Ph.D. from the linguistics department of the University of Pennsylvania in 1998. My areas of interest include speech technology, phonetics, (computational) phonology, sociolinguistics and dialectology.
My dissertation, Pronunciation Modeling in Speech Synthesis, describes methods for automatic conversion between lexical and speaker-dependent postlexical pronunciations, with the goal of generating more natural synthetic speech.
In the past, I have worked at Tellme, BeVocal, San Jose State University's LLD department, Motorola, Franklin Electronic Publishers and BNR.
I did my undergraduate work at Harvard College, as a member of the class of 1989.
I spent my junior year abroad at Universit� Laval in Quebec City.
I grew up in Great Neck, Long Island
