Speech Biomarkers | Fenqi Wang

Can speech provide reliable biomarkers for diagnosis and assessment? This project investigates how acoustic and articulatory features of speech can be used to develop objective measures of human communication and health. By integrating speech science and machine learning, I aim to identify speech-based markers that support both clinical applications and linguistic research.
