About

I am an AI researcher and educator working at the intersection of language, vision, speech, and neuro-signals. My research integrates cognitive science with modern machine learning to build robust and human-aligned systems for healthcare, assistive intelligence, and advanced language technologies.

My industry journey includes high-impact roles at Apple Siri and IBM Research. In addition to my academic role, I serve as Co-founder and CTO at VoilaVoice, supporting practical transfer of voice AI research in an intentionally low-profile capacity.

Industry Spotlight

From enterprise AI to frontier conversational systems: I helped build and ship language technologies across research and product environments, spanning large-scale experimentation, deployment, and user-facing intelligence.
