About me

Introduction	I am the co-founder, along with Elliot Saltzman, of the "IS group." I am presently the CEO and a senior scientist at Haskins Labs in New Haven, a private, non-profit research institute affiliated with Yale University and the University of Connecticut that has a primary focus on the science of the spoken and written word, including speech, language and reading. I am also a Professor Adjunct in the Dept. of Surgery, Otolaryngology at the Yale School of Medicine and a Research Affiliate in the Dept. of Psychology at Yale. My research spans a number of disciplines, combining computational, engineering, linguistic, physiological and psychological approaches to study embodied cognition, most particularly the biological bases of speech and language. I am probably best known for my work on articulatory synthesis (computational modeling of the physiology and acoustics of speech production), sinewave synthesis, signal processing, and perceptual organization. From 2000-2003 I was the Director of the Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences (BCS) at the NSF. I am also the Chair of the National Academies Board on Behavioral, Cognitive, and Sensory Sciences.
