Welcome to my webpage

I am a Speech AI researcher with over 10 years of experience in speaker verification, spoken language identification, diarization, deepfake detection, and speech technologies, including automatic speech recognition (ASR) for low-resource languages. My research applies deep learning, machine learning, and signal processing to solve real-world challenges in speech technology.

I currently work as a Postdoctoral Researcher (since January 2024) in the Computational Speech Group, led by Prof. Tomi Kinnunen at the School of Computing, University of Eastern Finland. Earlier, I served as a Senior Project Officer (SPO) in the “Bhasini: Speech Technologies in Indian Languages” project of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India (April 2022 – December 2023).

I earned my Ph.D. in May 2024 from the Department of Electrical, Electronics, and Communication Engineering (EECE) at the Indian Institute of Technology Dharwad (IIT Dharwad). My doctoral thesis, titled “Implicit Systems for Spoken Language Diarization,” focused on developing novel frameworks for language diarization in low/zero resource settings, to enable speech technology in code-switched scenarios.

I specialize in speech signal processing, tackling research challenges that advance the development and deployment of speech-based applications such as speech recognition, speaker recognition, and voice translation. Most of my work focuses on building robust speaker and language recognition systems. I enjoy analyzing speech and biomedical signals, developing innovative speech-based systems using signal processing and deep learning, interpreting results, identifying limitations, and creating effective solutions.

Beyond research, I strive to help those in need and explore spiritual concepts related to human neurocognitive activity. I am fascinated by ancient claims that specific sequences of sounds can influence mental states and even creation itself. In the future, I aim to expand my research while exploring the scientific connections between sound, cognition, and consciousness.
