Biographical Sketch
Dr. Martin Rothenberg, president of Glottal Enterprises, is Professor Emeritus of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Syracuse University, and he directed the Speech Research Laboratory there from 1966 to 1992. This laboratory specialized in research on the human voice and in the development of non-invasive techniques for the measurement of vocal function during speech and singing. Glottal Enterprises was formed in 1981 in order to supply to other laboratories the equipment developed at the Syracuse laboratory.
From 1986 to 1991, the Speech Research Laboratory included an interdisciplinary research team studying the use of computer-based multimedia instruction in language learning. Syracuse Language Systems (SLS) was formed by members of that research team in 1991, and, with Dr. Rothenberg as President and CEO, produced a series of award-winning CD-ROM titles for language instruction. In 1998, SLS was sold to the Cendant Corporation, and Dr. Rothenberg redirected his energies to the development of techniques for the measurement of vocal function, with the goal of producing effective computer-based measurement tools that were sufficiently economical for home use in voice and speech training regimes.
Dr. Rothenberg was a NDEA Title IV Fellow during his graduate studies at the University of Michigan, from 1960 to 1964. He was a Fulbright Senior Research Fellow in Sweden in 1980, studying the voice and speech patterns of children. In 1993 he received the Fifth Annual Quintana Voice Research Award of Achievement, awarded by The Voice Foundation.
Dr. Rothenberg is the author of numerous papers related to the use of the human voice in speech and singing, and he holds four patents for speech-related measurement and training devices and systems.
