In this episode we are chatting with Odette Scharenborg, an Associate Professor and Delft Technology Fellow. She is also a member of the ISCA board, where she acts as the chair of the diversity committee, co-chair of the Interspeech Conferences committee and of the Technical Committee. We talk about diversity concerns not only in speech technology but also within the community. Odette also told us about her career, its highlights as well as its least successful aspects.
