My CV and complete publication list.
I come from the beautiful city
of Naples, in Italy,
where I received my degree in Foreign Languages
and Linguistics from the University of Naples "Federico
II" in
October 1992, discussing a thesis on the
Acoustical analysis of English vowels and diphthongs uttered
in spontaneous speech.
I further specialised
in Italian linguistics and phonetics, following courses at the University of Rome III.
In 1995 I received a
Post-Graduate scholarship to spend a year as a visiting scientist at
the
National Acoustical Labs in Chatswood, Australia.
Between 1996 and 1998 I was
junior researcher at the Fondazione Ugo Bordoni in Rome,
in the Speech Group.
I published several papers before 2002 (between
1994 and 2002).
In March 2001 I moved to Stockholm and before starting my doctorate at KTH I
worked
at Telia Promotor Infovox in Stockholm,
(now Acapela group) developing speech synthesis systems.
I teach an introduction course
in Speech Technologies at the department of Linguistics of
Uppsala University .
And Italian evening classes in private language schools in Stockholm.
