Bio

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at UC Berkeley, and in the Department of Neurosurgery at UC San Francisco, where I lead the Berkeley Speech Group.

I did my PhD at Carnegie Mellon University and Instituto Superior Tecnico, where I was advised by Alan Black and Luis Oliveira, and was a postdoc at UC San Francisco with Edward Chang. Earlier, I got my B.Tech and M.S. degrees from IIIT Hyderabad under Raj Reddy.

Research

Our group studies the intersection of speech processing, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence with an emphasis on human-centred speech and assistive technologies, including new paradigms for bio-inspired spoken language technologies, automated methods for early diagnosis, characterizing and rehabilitating disordered speech. Other interests include healthcare, conversational AI, multimodal learning and beyond.

Our group is a part of Berkeley AI Research (BAIR). Prospective students and visitors should look here for information.
