Senior🎓
Top SchoolRébecca Kleinberger is a voice technologist and creative researcher with nine years of interdisciplinary experience building assistive and experiential voice systems across academia, industry, and live performance. As Assistant Professor of Humanics and Voice Technology at Northeastern and PI/Director of INTERACT Animal Lab, she blends DSP, ML, wearable sensing, VR, and robotics to prototype devices from assistive stuttering tools to animal sonic enrichment. Trained at ENSAM, UCL and MIT (PhD, Media Lab), she has translated lab research into exhibitions, operatic performances, and industry collaborations with Microsoft Research and Google Magenta. Her work uniquely treats voice beyond language—leveraging physiological, cognitive, and social signals—to design healthier, emotionally resonant technologies. Notably, she pairs rigorous clinical and IRB-backed studies with theatrical deployments (e.g., projection ball gown, memory music box), demonstrating both scientific impact and public-facing creativity.
