Charalambos (Haris) Themistocleous

I am a linguist. My interests include speech, language, healthcare, and machine learning.

I am a researcher at Språkbanken, Department of Swedish, University of Gothenburg, Sweden and a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Department of Neurology, School of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, USA.

In my research, I focus on the analysis of speech and language from behavioral and tDCS interventions in participants with PPA and Alzheimer’s disease, and on the analysis of data from language, cognitive and quality of life evaluations using machine learning and natural language processing.
