Short Biography

I am currently a PhD student at the Idiap Research Institute, specializing in the speech processing group under the supervision of Philip N. Garner. My research primarily contributes to the Evolving Language NCCR project . Within our research group, our objective is to harness the capabilities of machine learning to gain valuable insights into biological systems. Additionally, we strive to incorporate our understanding of physiology into the development of physiologically plausible trainable models, seamlessly integrated within larger speech recognition frameworks. My specific focus revolves around the integration of our comprehensive understanding of the cochlea. This involves utilizing a bank of Hopf oscillators and incorporating them into state-of-the-art, pre-trained speech recognition models. By amalgamating these components, my aim is to push the boundaries of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) technology and contribute to advancements in the field.
