Congratulations to Assistant Professor Berrak Sisman for being elected as a member of the IEEE Speech and Language Processing Technical Committee (SLTC) in the area of Speech Synthesis for the term from Jan 2022 to Dec 2024. We shall look forward to her continued support and service to the community in her area of expertise.

IEEE SLTC promotes and influences all the technical areas of speech and language processing. Members of SLTC are elected by the committee among the most active and accomplished researchers and technologists in the field. The main focus of the SLTC is the organization of the technical sessions in the related areas at the annual International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing (ICASSP). SLTC is also actively involved in establishing liaisons with other non-IEEE organizations in related areas, such as ISCA and ACL. Other activities include the selection of proposals for workshops such as ASRU Workshop (Automatic Speech Recognition and Understanding), SLT Workshop (Spoken Language Technologies), and Odyssey, the Speaker and Language Recognition Workshop.
