I am Anuj Diwan (अनुज दिवाण), a second year PhD student in the Computer Science Department at the University of Texas at Austin. I am fortunate to be co-advised by Prof. David Harwath and Prof. Eunsol Choi and I am part of the UT NLP group. I am also a Student Researcher at Google DeepMind in the Brain team mentored by Dr. Yu Zhang and Ankur Bapna for Summer 2023. In 2022, I spent a wonderful summer at FAIR (Meta AI) mentored by Dr. Abdelrahman Mohamed.
My research interests are in Speech Processing and Natural Language Processing. I’m currently working on speech-to-speech translation and parameter-efficient continual learning for speech tasks. I’ve worked on vision-language compositionality and multilingual+code-switching speech recognition in the past.
I received my undergraduate B.Tech (with Honors) degree in Computer Science and a Minor degree in Statistics from IIT Bombay in 2021. I had a great time working with Prof. Preethi Jyothi and Prof. Sunita Sarawagi at IIT Bombay. I have interned at Adobe Research India in Summer 2020 and ICTEAM, INMA, UCLouvain, Belgium in Summer 2019.
In my spare time, I enjoy reading, quizzing, solving wordgames, and watching the latest movies and TV shows.
