Matthew Perez

My name is Matthew Perez and I am a Senior Machine Learning Research Scientist at Rad AI. I graduated from the University of Michigan with a Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering working with Dr. Emily Mower Provost at the Computational Human Artificial Intelligence (CHAI) Lab. My research interest is broadly in speech- and language-based machine learning applications. My work has spanned topics including ASR, speaker diarization, error characterization, grapheme-to-phoneme, and emotion recognition and modeling

I received my M.S. in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Michigan and my B.S. in Computer Science at the University of Notre Dame. I have been fortunate to receive the GEM Fellowship ('19) and the NSF Graduate Research Fellowship ('20).
