Biography
Dr Charles Redmon is a Lecturer in the Department of Language and Linguistics at the University of Essex, working primarily at the intersection of phonetics, psycholinguistics, and computing, but also addressing questions in morphology, historical linguistics, and Germanic. His research covers a variety of languages and language families, but is mainly focused on the South Asian region. This work began during his Masters at EFLU in Hyderabad, and continues through active collaborations with researchers at Jadavpur University in Kolkata, IIT in Guwahati, and the North-Eastern Hill University (NEHU) in Shillong. In the computational space, his main interests are in technological access for low-resource languages, and in the development of tools that are less dependent on large data sources (which definitionally exclude many communities), such as physiologically grounded automatic speech recognition.
