As of October 2013, I am a Postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Neurological surgery, UCSF .

I completed my PhD at the Language Technologies Institute within the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon and INESC-ID, Lisboa in the Instituto Superior Tecnico . I was advised by Dr. Alan Black and Dr. Luis Caldas de Oliveira. Earlier, I got my B.Tech and and Masters degrees in Computer Science from IIIT Hyderabad, India.

My research interests are in spoken language technologies, specifically speech-to-speech Machine Translation (S2SMT). In simple terms, trying to make computers hear, talk and translate as we speak! Some of my research featured in the Portuguese Magazine Sabado [In Portuguese]. Check out my PhD thesis and some demos here.
