Jenny Vojtech

I am the associate director of the STEPP Lab for Sensorimotor Rehabilitation Engineering, where I focus on applying computational methods to improve the assessment and treatment of sensorimotor disorders of voice and speech.

My research at Boston University primarily involves designing computational algorithms that help us better understand and objectively characterize voice disorders. In addition, my work focuses on developing software to capture speech analytics for applications in cognitive monitoring, as well as modeling human-computer interactions for more personalized device access for alternative communication.
