Rita R. Patel studies how the human voice is produced and how voice disorders develop, using imaging and measurement tools such as high-speed video endoscopy, laser 3D reconstruction, and electroglottography (a method for tracking vocal fold vibration). Much of the work focuses on how the vocal folds vibrate in healthy children and adults, as well as in conditions like vocal nodules, vocal tremor, and laryngeal obstruction. Recent projects also apply machine learning and deep learning to automatically analyze voice and airway images.
