Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJosé Fonollosa is a seasoned professor and research leader in language and speech technologies with over three decades of academic experience and 12 years framed as focused R&D practice. As main researcher and former director of the TALP Research Center at UPC, he has led information extraction and machine-related projects while co-founding VERBIO and serving as its chief scientist. His work bridges deep academic rigor—holding a PhD in Telecommunications Engineering—with practical voice and language productization informed by a visiting professorship at USC. Based in Barcelona, he combines leadership of long-running research teams with hands-on development of speech and NLP systems. Less obvious: his career spans both institution-building (center director, academic appointments since 1986) and startup technology transfer, giving him rare perspective on moving research prototypes into commercial deployments.
