William N. Havard

Computational Linguist

I got my Ph.D. in Computational Linguistics from Université Grenoble Alpes in July 2021. I worked at the LIG laboratory (GETALP team) and at LIDILEM laboratory and was supersived by Pr. Laurent Besacier and Pr. Jean-Pierre Chevrot. During my final year, I was also ATER (temporary teaching and research fellow) at IUT2 Grenoble where I taught in the Computer Science departement.


Most of my work revolves around speech processing, and deep learning. I’m also interested in language typology and endangered language documentation and description.
