He is the president of the international joint ACL/ISCA special interest group on Speech and Language Processing for Assistive Technology and Young Investigator of the Alzheimers Society. His work involves machine-learning, human-computer interaction, speech-language pathology, rehabilitation engineering, signal processing, and linguistics. Contributions include the TORGO database of disordered speech (the first speech recognition system for people with speech disorders based on their physical speech articulation) and subsequent communication aid software that modifies the acoustics of hard-to-understand speech to make it more understandable to the typical listener. He is the director of SPOClab at the Toronto Rehabilitation Institute and University of Toronto, and a co-founder of WinterLight Labs Inc.
