Gabriel B. Mindlin
Jorge C. Lucero is a Full Professor (Professor Titular[1]) of computer science at the University of Brasília and a top cited Argentine-Brazilian scientist[2], whose research focuses on voice and speech production.
Lucero graduated in electrical engineering from the National University of Cordoba (Argentina, 1985) with a Diploma for Merits. He was a graduate scholar of the Ministry of Education of Japan and received a Ph.D. (1993) in Engineering from Shizuoka University[3]. He was Postdoctoral Fellow at both Queen's University[4] and the University of Toronto (1996-1997)[5], Associated Researcher of the CNRS (France, 2010-2011), and Visiting Researcher at Université Libre de Bruxelles (Belgium, 2012, 2013)[6].
Lucero's research work is internationally recognized for the mathematical modeling of the vocal fold oscillation during phonation and the application of the theory of dynamical systems to voice and speech[7][8][9][10][11]. He is also known for the analysis of speech articulation using techniques of functional data analysis[12][13], the 3D modeling of the human face for computer speech animations[14], and has made relevant contributions to the analysis and synthesis of voice disorders. He has over one hundred publications in peer-reviewed journals, book chapters and conference proceedings, with over 800 citations[15]. His research has been supported by grants from Brazilian funding agencies, international cooperation programs of Brazil with France, Belgium, Argentina and Chile[6], and grants of the National Institute of Deafness and Other Communications Disorders (National Institutes of Health) to Haskins Laboratories[16].
