	Stephen Cox trained firstly as a physicist and then as an electronic engineer, and began his career at the UK Government Communications Centre developing signal-processing algorithms. He joined the Speech Applications Division at BT Laboratories to work on speech recognition in 1984. From 1987--89, he worked at the Speech Research Unit at (what was then) RSRE, Malvern, where he researched into adaptation of speech recognition algorithms to new speakers. He returned to BT in 1989 to lead a team of researchers developing speech recognition algorithms for use on the UK telephone network. He joined the School of Computing Sciences at UEA as a lecturer in 1991. In 1994 he was an invited consultant at AT&T Bell Labs, New Jersey, where he worked on confidence measures for speech recognition. He was visiting scientist at Nuance Communications Inc., CA, in 2000.
