Ashish Mittal is a research scientist with 12 years of experience building intelligent systems that blend human-like reasoning with large-scale machine computation, currently at Google DeepMind after a multi-year research tenure at IBM Research India. His work centers on speech and language technologies—particularly multilingual and code-switched ASR—and on methods to adapt models to new domains with minimal supervision. He has progressed from software engineer to senior research roles, contributing product-facing NLP features as well as foundational research in ML for conversational and speech systems. Ashish combines academic rigor (M.Tech and ongoing PhD work at IIT Bombay) with applied impact, having driven natural language querying capabilities into IBM products. Based in Bengaluru, he brings an engineer’s focus on transfer learning and domain adaptation that few research scientists pair with production delivery experience. Colleagues would note his curiosity for exploring the unknown and his knack for translating research into practical systems.
