Tobias Weinberg.
I'm a CS PhD Candidate at Cornell University working with Prof. Thijs Roumen at Matter of Tech Lab based in Cornell Tech, NYC. \n Dedicated to advancing augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) technologies, my research centers on the development of systems designed to seamlessly integrate non-informative speech. This innovative approach aims to empower individuals facing speech and motor impairments by providing them with enhanced expressivity through AAC solutions. My work is driven by a commitment to leveraging technology to improve the communication capabilities of those with diverse abilities, fostering greater inclusivity and accessibility.
