Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAdam Janin is a research scientist with over 25 years of experience specializing in speech recognition, natural language understanding, and applied AI across industry and academia. He has led research and product transitions from prototype to deployable systems—most recently building a high-throughput ASR engine as Chief Scientist at Mod9 and advancing meeting-focused speech solutions at Zoom. His work spans robotics, HCI, augmented reality, and genomics/proteomics, reflecting a rare breadth that couples deep algorithmic expertise with real-world engineering. A longtime contributor to robust ASR through novel neural architectures and parallel processing, he excels at integrating disparate components into reliable, production-ready systems. Based in Berkeley and holding a PhD in Computer Science from UC Berkeley, he favors in-person collaboration and thrives in research environments where rapid synthesis of ideas matters. Notably, he regards speech recognition as an “AI-complete” problem and brings that systems-level perspective to tackle the hardest multimodal communication challenges.
