Dr. Cristian Tejedor-García
currently works as an assistant professor (UD) at the Centre for Language Studies (CLS) and the department of Language and Communication, at Radboud University.
Cristian specialises in automatic speech recognition and speech-based Artificial Intelligence (AI) as the project leader of the five-year NWO-funded "Responsible AI for Voice Diagnostics" (RAIVD) project. This project comprises six PhD subprojects focusing on data minimization, explainable AI, responsible AI, and data-centric AI. These subprojects delve into two main topics: reading diagnostics and pronunciation assessment, and early and differential diagnosis of neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. A key component of the project is the exploration and integration of Speech Large Language Models (Speech LLMs) to enhance the accuracy, interpretability, and fairness of voice-based diagnostic systems.
Through collaborations with educators, linguists, and medical experts, Cristian demonstrates a profound understanding of ethical and privacy considerations for interactive systems and data collection. His commitment to responsible AI in education and healthcare emphasizes his aim to create a real-world impact in these domains.
Dr. Tejedor-García holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science (2020, Cum Laude & International Mention) from the University of Valladolid, Spain. During his PhD, he also carried out research at the Centre of Excellence in Educational Innovation at the University of Tallinn (Tallinn, Estonia) and the Department of Spanish Philology at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (Barcelona, Spain). After graduation, he joined the Centre for Language and Speech Technology (CLST) as a postdoc during three years under the Language and Speech, Learning and Therapy (LSLT) research group at Radboud University (the Netherlands).
