Dr. Gea de Jong-Lendle

Since 2010 I am a senior scientist/lecturer in phonetics at the University of Marburg in Germany. My main research interests focus on the area of forensic phonetics and I have undertaken forensic investigations since 1994, for both prosecution and defense. I have provided voice analysis services for a number of UK institutes/forces like the Forensic Science Service, Metropolitan Police and Liverpool Police and assisted the Dutch police. Currently, I am leading a forensic phonetics team in Marburg conducting forensic analyses in Germany. Other academic posts include Senior Research Associate at the University of Cambridge and Lecturer at City University in London. I hold a PhD in linguistics from the University of Florida and an M.Phil. in Computer Speech and Language Processing from the University of Cambridge.
