My research focuses on assistive technology. The assistive technology enhances inclusivity and accessibility of urban living, allowing individuals with disabilities to participate more freely in social activities and utilize urban facilities. My research includes the application of speech recognition systems in assistive tools, which enables individuals with disabilities to interact with assistive devices using their voice, providing a more natural and intuitive means of communication.
