My research interests are in the area of machine learning for speech, language, and sound processing. I am particularly interested in multimodality and unsupervised/self-supervised approaches that can benefit low-resource languages and domains. At UT, I lead the Speech, Audio, and Language Technologies (SALT) Lab.
Prior to joining UT, I worked as a research scientist at MIT CSAIL from 2018 to 2020. I recieved my PhD in 2018 from the Spoken Language Systems Group at MIT CSAIL, under the supervision of Jim Glass.
