Overview
I am a third-year Ph.D. student at the school of Computer science and informatics, Human-centred computing group.
My research aims to improve the interaction between people with speech impairment and voice-controlled devices. We are looking into technique to overcomes dysarthric users' communication difficulties and enables them to use a virtual home assistans (Google Home, Amazon Alexa) while simultaneously increasing their privacy and security.
