Teaching
Courses, graduate supervision, and project suggestions for prospective students.
Courses
Signals and Systems
Undergraduate, Engineering
Continuous and discrete time signals, linear systems, Fourier and Laplace analysis, sampling and filtering.
Data Mining and Machine Learning
Graduate, Engineering
Supervised and unsupervised learning methods applied to real data, with an emphasis on evaluation and practical modelling.
Automatic Speech Recognition
Graduate
Acoustic and language modelling, decoding, and the practical construction of recognition systems for low-resource languages.
Text-to-Speech Synthesis
Graduate
Front-end text processing, prosody, vocoding and neural synthesis, with Icelandic as the working language.
Graduate students
I supervise MSc and PhD students working on speech signal processing and speech technology, primarily within the Language and Voice Lab.
Student projects
The topics below are available as MSc thesis or final-year project work. Each can be scoped to a single semester or extended into a full thesis.
- Voice source estimation from conversational recordings, evaluated against reference glottal measurements.
- Acoustic markers of cognitive workload in task-based speech.
- Data-efficient speech recognition for a low-resource language or dialect.
- Evaluation methods for Icelandic text-to-speech, including listener studies.
