Description
• Created a proprietary dataset (VRPS) with 60 participants, labeling stressed vs non-stressed voice samples • Developed signal processing pipelines for audio cleaning, feature extraction (MFCCs, RMS, ZCR et cetera) and model input • Designed and deployed real-time ML models for voice-based stress detection using Librosa, TensorFlow and Keras • Built a Virtual Reality public speaking training application integrating real-time stress feedback and adaptive agents • Achieved high accuracy using ANN architectures for stress classification • Presented findings at IEEE CoG and TALE; published 3+ peer-reviewed papers
