Congratulations to Manuel Otero González (from Laboratorio de Fonética del CSIC and Universidad Autónoma de Madrid - Audias) for winning the Oxford Wave Research International Forensic Phonetics and Acoustics (IAFPA) Best Student Acoustic/Automatic Paper award in the 2026 IAFPA conference.

Together with his co-author Aurora Lopez Jareno, he presented "A comparison of the performance of humans versus deep neural networks in speech deepfake detection," a work that combines acoustic and automatic analysis. We hope this award can contribute to supporting his research journey.

Special thanks to the judging panel who made this possible.

Next week, we’ll be at the IAFPA Conference. It will be the 34th Annual, how time flies :)

Looking forward to spending some quality time with all the participants in Trier and also to testing our vocal chords over a world-class glass of Riesling 🍷 May Porta Nigra become a gate to new openings in the field!

Excited to support the speech research community as a Silver Sponsor for the UK and Ireland Speech (UKIS) 2026 workshop!...

Excited to support the speech research community as a Silver Sponsor for the UK and Ireland Speech (UKIS) 2026 workshop!

Hosted by Voice & Speech Processing for Health (VS4H) at University College London (UCL), it’s going to be a fantastic opportunity for researchers across the UK and Ireland to collaborate, share insights, and build new connections. Looking forward to presenting some of our work on forensic deepfake detection and exchanging further research ideas!
