Charalambos (Haris) Themistocleous is an Associate Professor of Speech, Language, and Communication at the Department of Special Needs Education at the University of Oslo. His research focuses on quantifying the impact of brain damage on speech, language, and communication, by developing automatic speech and language measures. A primary goal of his work is to create early diagnostic and prognostic models for these conditions.
Dr. Themistocleous is developing AI tools for the automatic analysis of speech and language and leads the development of Open Brain AI, a computational platform that supports clinicians in studying language impairments in patients.
