Tomoko Matsui, PhD (Engineering), is a Professor at the Shenzhen Loop Area Institute (SLAI). She received her PhD in Information Science from Tokyo Institute of Technology. Her research interests include statistical machine learning, speech information processing, and spatio-temporal data analysis, with applications to climate risk, social sensing, and healthcare. She has published over 100 peer-reviewed papers in leading journals and conferences such as IEEE Transactions, Speech Communication, Spatial Statistics, ICASSP, and Interspeech. Her work has been supported by numerous competitive research grants. She welcomes international collaboration and applications from motivated students, particularly in AI and healthcare, including dementia-related research.
