Fenqi Wang

I am a Research Fellow in Neurology Artificial Intelligence at Mayo Clinic, where I collaborate with Drs. Hugo Botha and Rene Utianski to apply deep learning models to investigate the speech features of patients with motor speech disorders. I earned my PhD in Linguistics from the University of Florida, where I was mentored by Dr. Ratree Wayland.

My research spans motor speech disorders, speech biomarkers, and computational modeling. Alongside my work in motor speech disorders, I explore the expression and perception of vocal emotions across different languages and investigate phonetic variation in accented Mandarin through advanced deep/machine learning models.

With expertise in both speech sciences and computational methods, my research focuses on uncovering patterns and variations in speech to address real-world challenges. My work has been published in various journals and conferences.
