Dr. Tamás Gábor Csapó

Tamás Gábor Csapó obtained his PhD in computer science & speech technology from Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME), Hungary in 2014. During MSc, in 2007, he was awarded with 1st prize of the National Conference of Scientific Student’s Associations, Hungary. He received a CIRE student grant of the Acoustical Society of America in 2010 and was a Fulbright scholar at Indiana University, USA in 2014, where he started to deal with ultrasound tongue imaging. In 2016, he joined the MTA-ELTE Lingual Articulation Research Group, focusing on investigating the Hungarian articulation during speech production. Since 2017, he has two national research projects about ultrasound-based articulatory-to-acoustic mapping and articulatory-to-acoustic inversion, both of them applying deep learning methods. He regularly cooperates with international researchers and has co-authors from USA, Canada, Colombia, China, and several EU countries. His research interests include speech synthesis, speech analysis, vocoding, ultrasound-based tongue movement analysis, and deep learning methods applied for speech technologies.
