Biography

 

Rubén San-Segundo received his MSEE degree from Technical University of Madrid in 1997, and Ph.D. degrees from the same university in 2002 (with highest distinction). From 1997 through 2001, Rubén was supported under a Education Ministry Grand. While a member of the Speech Technology Group (GTH), his research included: speech recognition of spelled words, confidence measures estimation for speech recognition and understanding, and dialogue design for speech applications.

 

During 1999 and 2000, Ruben did two summer stays in The Center of Spoken Language Research (CSLR) at the University of Colorado (Boulder), as visiting student. During these stays, he worked in confidence measures at the CU Communicator System.

 

From Sep. 2001 through Feb. 2003, Rubén worked at the Speech Technology Group of the Telefónica I+D. During this period, he worked in confidence estimation for speech recognition, acoustic modelling of speech, and he was involved in the design of several services considering these technologies. Ruben has collaborated in the definition of proposals for new research projects.

 

From Mar, 2003 through Mar. 2004, Rubén worked at the Department of Electronic Systems and Control at the EUITT of UPM. Currently, Rubén is associate professor at the department of Electronic Engineering at ETSIT of UPM and he is member of the Speech Technology Group (GTH) at the ETSIT.

 

Rubén has been the Coordinator of the Spanish Network on Speech Technologies (www.rthabla.es). Rubén has been vice-chair of the Special Interest Group of ISCA on Iberian Languages (http://www.il-sig.org/). Rubén has been the Principal Investigator of the project: “Speech in to Sign Language Translation” (www.traduccionvozlse.es).
