    Phone-Collected Speech Corpus for Remote Assessment of Parkinson’s Disease
    Role Description: This pilot study aims at establishing a speech database from people with Parkinson's disease and healthy participants. The study provides acoustical features and spectrogram images of a sustained vowel sound that could be used by machine learning methods to develop biomarkers for PD.
    Role: Principle Investigator

    Machine Learning Approaches for Remote Pathological Speech Assessment for Parkinson's Disease
    Role Description: This seed research grant was funded by the DART project, sponsored by Arkansas's NSF EPSCOR program. The project will develop analysis pipelines to detect discriminative speech acoustic features between people with Parkinson's Disease and normal controls using voice recordings acquired via phone line.
