His interests span the fields of Human Social and Cognitive Signal Processing. He has worked on and published over 30 papers in the fields of statistical signal processing, alpha stable distributions, speech and multimodal signal processing and interfaces, speech translation, language modeling, immersive sound processing, sound source localization, and speaker identification. He has been an Investigator, and co-PI on several federally funded projects notably including the DARPA Transtac “SpeechLinks” and the NSF (Large) “An Integrated Approach to Creating Enriched Speech Translation Systems”. He is currently serving as guest editor of the Computer Speech and Language journal.
