Dr. Lilley has been working in the Speech Research Laboratory under Dr. Tim Bunnell off and on since 2000, first as a graduate student (University of Delaware, Linguistics), then as a post-doctoral fellow, and now as an assistant research scientist. His primary area of research is exploring clinical uses for speech recognition and speech synthesis technologies.
