Research GateBiography
Dr Bruce Xiao Wang received his Ph.D. in Linguistics (Forensic Speech Science) from the University of York (UK). He is currently a Research Assistant Professor at the Department of English and Communication. Before joining PolyU, he worked as a lecturer in Phonetics at Newcastle University (UK). Dr Wang’s primary research interests encompass acoustic phonetics, forensic phonetics, Bayesian statistics, and the evaluation of voice evidence. His work on sampling variability in forensic phonetics contributes to the ongoing discussion on the matters of validity and reliability in forensic evidence comparison. Additionally, he maintains an active research focus on articulatory phonetics and disordered speech, utilising Electromagnetic Articulography (EMA) to investigate the interpretability of acoustic signals (e.g., Mel-frequency cepstral coefficients) from an articulatory perspective. His recent work involves the analyses of speech produced by children with autism spectrum disorder (with Dr. Sarah Si Chen) and by post-stroke dysarthric speakers who received transcranial direct current stimulation (with Dr. Min Ney Wong).
