I received the B.S. degree in Electronics Engineering from University of Antioquia (Medellin, Colombia) in 2014, the Master of Science degree at the same institution in 2017, and the PhD at University of Antioquia (Colombia) and at Friedrich Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg (Germany) in a joint degree program. Additionally, I'm a guest researcher in the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, Head and Neck Surgery from the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität in Munich (Germany).
I received a B.S. in Electronics Engineering from the University of Antioquia (UdeA, Colombia) in 2014, a Master of Science degree at the same institution in 2017, and a Ph.D. in a joint program between the UdeA and the FAU in 2022. Since 2015, my research has focused on speech processing and machine learning methods for the analysis of pathological speech signals resulting from neurological (e.g., Parkinson’s disease), structural (e.g., children with cleft lip and palate), and perceptual (e.g., hearing loss) disorders. I have also investigated the effect of the natural aging process on speech, participated in developing Android-based applications for collecting and analyzing data from Parkinson’s disease patients and adults/children with hearing loss, and performed research on automatic methods for the analysis of high-speed videoendoscopy data of people with voice disorders.
