Lorenzo Turicchia

 

Lorenzo Turicchia’s main research interests are in nonlinear signal processing, machine learning, and bioelectronics. In 2002 he joined the Analog VLSI and Biological Systems group at MIT.

His work has included research on cochlear implants (bionic ears) for the hearing impaired, visual prostheses for the blind, speech prostheses for individuals with severe communication disabilities, automatic speech recognition in noise, and wearable medical devices.

He is currently working on (1) robust techniques for the recognition of speech, speaker, and language in noisy environments; (2) bioelectronics for wearable and implantable medical devices; and (3) neural decoding techniques for neural prosthetic devices for the paralyzed. He is an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Information Technology in Biomedicine (T-ITB) and serves on the program committees of several technical conferences.
