Bernhard Jakubass

Bernhard earned his Bachelor's, Master's and Ph.D. degree in medical engineering at the Friedrich-Alexander-University Erlangen-Nuremberg in Germany. At the Division of Phoniatrics and Pediatric Audiology of the University Hospital Erlangen he contributed to several projects utilizing Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations (CFD), ex-vivo larynx experiments, and high-speed video (HSV) analysis to gain new insights into the phonatory process. 

Since 2024 at Michigan State University (MSU), Bernhard is currently a Postdoctoral Scholar with the Voice and Speech Lab at the Department of Communicative Sciences & Disorders (CSD). There, he uses machine learning to enhance the analysis of laryngeal HSV recordings.

His goals are to create tools and knowledge for researchers and practitioners that further increase the understanding of the phonatory process and that eventually support the diagnosis and treatment of patients with voice disorders.
