Jiyoung Choi

Dr. Jiyoung Choi serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders at Iona University's Bronxville Campus, teaching neuroanatomy, physiology, and advanced speech sound disorders courses from her office in Sieker Hall, Room 103A.

Educational background:

• Ph.D. in Communication Sciences and Disorders, Columbia University
• MPhil in Communication Sciences and Disorders, Teachers College, Columbia University
• MA in Speech-Language Pathology, Lehman College, City University of New York (CUNY)
• MA in Linguistics, The Graduate Center, City University of New York (CUNY)
• BA in English Education, Chungnam National University, South Korea

Her research program centers on speech intelligibility in children with cerebral palsy-induced dysarthria, pioneering the integration of artificial intelligence—specifically automatic speech recognition (ASR) technology—into clinical assessment and treatment protocols. She concurrently develops frameworks for bilingual assessment and culturally responsive practices to address disparities in speech-language pathology services, bridging computational linguistics, pediatric neurology, and clinical therapy through interdisciplinary innovation.

Scientific awards: No awards mentioned in available documentation.

Dr. Choi mentors graduate students in speech-language pathology with clinical certification (CCC-SLP), though specific advisees aren't listed. Research likely involves institutional support given her AI-clinical integration focus, but grant details remain unspecified. She operates within Iona University's Communication Sciences and Disorders infrastructure, advancing pediatric communication disorder research through technology-enhanced clinical methodologies.
