🐘 Biography
I am a post-doc in Computer Science, specifically in speech translation, at FBK (Fondazione Bruno Kessler) in the MT Unit. I am interested in speech processing in general and its applications, with a particular focus on simultaneous translation and automatic subtitling, which were the topics of my PhD.
