- Additional information
- The novel method proposed was used in the preparation of forensic-voice-comparison testimony presented in an appeal hearing related to a criminal case (R v Dunstan [2018] ONSC 4153). It will be integrated into a new forensic-voice-comparison system, proposed as part of a currently-held £5.4M Research England Expanding Excellence in England (E3) grant, and currently being developed in collaboration with a number of law-enforcement agencies and government-run forensic laboratories including the FBI (FBI, Expert Witness), Netherlands Forensic Institute (NFI, Researcher), German Federal Police (GFP, Forensic expert), and Swedish National Forensic Centre (NFC, Linguistic Engineer).
