Anurag Katakkar

I am a Deep Learning Engineer at Matroid. Previously, I was a Deep Learning Software Engineer at NVIDIA, where I worked on the TensorRT Team.

Before that, I graduated from Carnegie Mellon University with a Master of Science in Computational Data Science. I was advised by Alan W Black, and Eric Nyberg.

My primary research area is Speech Processing. Specifically, I'm interested in modeling speech directly from waveforms/spectrograms. Towards that goal, I'm interested in exploring self-supervised learning based approaches. I also care about the applications of speech technology to social good and recently organized the Speech for Social Good Workshop (S4SG) at Interspeech 2022.

I'm also broadly interested in building efficient Machine Learning Systems - through algorthmic breakthroughs and better software for machine learning.
