Senior🎓
Top SchoolChenzi Xu is an Assistant Professor at Nanyang Technological University with eight years of research and engineering experience at the intersection of phonetics, speech technology, and forensic linguistics. She holds a DPhil in Linguistics from Oxford and was a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow there after postdoctoral work on person-specific automatic speaker recognition at York. Chenzi combines rigorous experimental phonetics (EEG and large-scale speech annotation) with practical software skills—having built Android interfaces and prepared audio datasets to improve speaker ID models. She has taught IPA transcription and software carpentry workshops, reflecting a talent for translating complex speech science into hands-on methods for students and engineers. Based in Oxford and internationally trained across Hong Kong, Berkeley, and the UK, she brings a global perspective to problems in speech variability and speaker behavior. An understated strength is her track record of bridging lab-scale experiments with applied ASR projects funded by major grants.
