About me

I got my Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Institute of Cybernetics and I was post-doctoral researcher at Georgia Institute of Technology, USA.  I am an Associate Professor in School of IT and Engineering, ADA University. My interests are natural language processing and machine learning. I am particularly interested in how to use language understanding to generalize and learn more efficiently.  

I am also co-founder of  NeuroTime AI Development Company.  I have worked on a range of applications including Speech Recogition, Speech Synthesis, Dialogue System, Deep Learning, Sentiment Analysis and developed AI -based products for different companies.

I help organisations to build AI and machine learning into their products and services, with a particular focus on voice and language technology.
