Rohit Prabhavalkar
Rohit Prabhavalkar received his PhD in Computer Science and Engineering from The Ohio State University, USA, in 2013. Following his PhD, Rohit joined the Speech Technologies group at Google where he is currently a Senior Staff Research Scientist. At Google, his research has previously focused primarily on developing compact acoustic models which can run efficiently on mobile devices, and on developing improved end-to-end automatic speech recognition systems; his current research is focused on improving multimodal LLMs for audio tasks.
Rohit has co-authored over 80 refereed journal articles and conference papers, which have received two best paper awards (ASRU 2017; ICASSP 2018). He has previously served as an associate editor of the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Audio, Speech, and Language Processing (2021-2024), and as an elected member of the IEEE Speech and Language Processing Technical Committee for two terms (2018-2021; 2021-2024).
