Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChristopher Carignan is a scientific staff researcher and laboratory phonetician with 10+ years of experience building reproducible analysis pipelines and GUI tools for multimodal speech data, currently developing Matlab/R software for real-time MRI speech imaging at LMU Munich. He blends traditional statistical modeling and modern machine learning to quantify articulatory gestures, detect speech events, and relate high-resolution vocal tract dynamics to acoustic outputs across clinical and field-language contexts. His work spans image processing, time-series analysis, and NLP-informed speech detection, and has produced methods for assessing hyper-nasality and depression from audio as well as tools for endangered-language phonetic analysis. Christopher combines strong programming fluency (R, Matlab, Python, Julia, Java, Praat) with an academic track record of peer-reviewed publications and extensive invited talks, and brings hands-on lab engineering experience from ultrasound and MRI to field recording scenarios. Fluent in French and based in Bavaria, he often converts bespoke research algorithms into user-friendly software that broadens access beyond specialist labs.
