Software
The following are the several software that I have been working on for my research work.
Modular Architecture for Research on speech sYnthesis (MARY) is an open-source, multilingual Text-to-Speech Synthesis platform written in Java. I am a core developer and I have been working on MARY since 2007. I implemented significant portions of voice-building support, new language support modules for TTS systems. My PhD work on nonverbal vocalizations is also open-source through this platform.

Sensitive Artificial Listeners (SAL) are virtual dialogue partners who, despite their very limited verbal understanding, intend to engage the user in a conversation by paying attention to the user's emotions and non-verbal expressions. The SAL characters have their own emotionally defined personality, and attempt to drag the user towards their dominant emotion, through a combination of verbal and non-verbal expression. I am one of the core developers of this software. Link : http://semaine.opendfki.de/
