I'm Harsha!
I'm a PhD student learning and researching about machine learning, signal processing, speech technology, conversational AI, and LLM applications. My work focuses on conversational AI.
I'm exploring enchronic speech dynamics using self-supervised learning and working on bias detection in conversational AI. Enchrony involves studying:
- How quickly we respond in conversations.
- How we co-create meaning with our conversation partners.
- Other real-time interaction dynamics.
My goal is to uncover insights that advance our understanding of human communication and improve conversational AI systems.
- Master’s in Electrical Engineering (Signal Processing): Built automatic speech recognition (ASR) models for literacy assessments in India, now in field use by an NGO. (2018-2021)
- MSc in Data Science & AI: Deepened my expertise in machine learning and AI. (2022-2024)
- Industry Experience:
- Developed speech assessment systems and voice activity detectors.
- Built LLM-based solutions for the aerospace industry, including a RAG-based system that automated repair scheme creation, saving repair engineers 98% of their writing time.
I love tackling tough problems and finding unique solutions that push projects forward or take them to the next level.
