Yan Tang
Yan Tang was a PhD student in Language and Speech Laboratory supervised by Professor Martin Cooke and Dr. Mª Luisa García Lecumberri. He obtained his 1st Master’s Degree in Environmental Science with Excellent Graduate Honor 2007 in Sichuan University, China and 2nd Master’s Degree in Software Systems and Internet Technology with Distinction in the University of Sheffield, UK in 2008. His work was supported by EU FET-Open project LISTA (The Listening Talker).
