About

I am a linguist interested in technologies for atypical speech, which includes pathological speech (mainly dysarthric speech) and L2 speech (L2 Korean from learners with various L1 backgrounds or L2 English from Korean learners). My passion comes from making a better world where everyone can convey their messages towards the world.
