I am the Level 4 Computing Personal Tutor during AY 2022-23.
Research interests
My main research interests are:
- how emotion and other stressing factors are conveyed in human speech
- how to simulate vocal emotion in synthetic speech
- the application of synthetic speech systems within voice output communication aids
Research
My research is conducted within the Human-Centred Computing research group within Computing in the School of Science & Engineering.
Biography
After his secondary education in Dunfermline, Dr Iain Murray attended the University of Dundee in 1982 where he gained an undergraduate degree in electronics and a postgraduate research degree on the subject of speech synthesis. He has been a lecturer in Computing there since 1991, still with an interest in speech synthesis and communication technology. He is a member of the British Computer Society and is a member of their academic accreditation team.
He has been interested in the work of Sir Barnes Wallis for many years, and his book “Bouncing-Bomb Man: the Science of Sir Barnes Wallis” was published in 2009; he is also the author of the Haynes technical manuals on the Dam Busters (2011) and Vickers Wellington (2012), and is a trustee of the Barnes Wallis Foundation.
