Dr. Ghitza is an Electrical Engineer with over 30 yeas in the field. Previously, he was a Consultant at the Speech Systems Technology Group, MIT Lincoln Laboratory in Lexington, Massachusetts and the Senior Research Scientist at Sensimetrics Corporation, Malden, Massachusetts. Currently, he is a Research Professor at Boston University and a Visiting Researcher in the Neuroscience Department at the Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics, Frankfurt, Germany. Dr. Ghitza’s current research focuses on the formulation of cortical computation principles that underlie the speech decoding process and that are capable of predicting human performance in speech perception tasks.
