I am a research engineer at Woven by Toyota. My work investigates remote communication. I focus on experimental design, data collection, statistical analyses, coding, data visualization, and the promotion of reproducible research practices.
Previously I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Speech and Audio Processing Laboratory at Kyoto University working with Prof. Dr. Tatsuya Kawahara researching spoken dialogue systems for human-robot interaction and virtual agents.
I completed my PhD at Saarland University with Prof. Dr. Bernd Möbius and Dr. Jürgen Trouvain. I was part of the PINTS project which focused on pause-internal phonetic particles in speech communication. I examined the influence of pause particles in speech synthesis.
