Dr Iain Murray went to the University of Dundee in 1982 where he gained an undergraduate degree in electronics and a postgraduate research degree on the subject of speech synthesis. He has been a lecturer in Computing there since 1991, still with an interest in speech synthesis and communication technology. He is a Member of the British Computer Society and is a member of their academic accreditation team. He has been interested in the work of Sir Barnes Wallis for many years.
My main areas of interest are: * the work of engineer Sir Barnes Wallis, famous as the designer of airships (including R.100), aircraft (including the Vickers Wellington) and the "bouncing bomb" used by The Dambusters in 1943 * adding emotion and personality to synthesised speech, and the use of synthetic speech in Augmentative & Alternative Communication (AAC) systems for disabled users
