Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Roddy is a Principal Machine Learning Scientist based in Dublin with 11 years of experience developing speech technologies and production-ready ML systems. He holds a PhD from Trinity College Dublin where he pioneered multimodal deep learning models for conversational turn-taking, blending ML, audio-visual signal processing, NLP and social science insights. At Verint and previously at Cogito, he has translated research-grade dialogue models into applied solutions for real-world speech systems. A regular reviewer and first-author conference contributor (ACL, Interspeech, ICMI, Eusipco), he balances rigorous publication credentials with hands-on engineering execution. Unusually for an applied scientist, his background in music technology and arts-informed perspective informs his approach to prosody and multimodal signal design.
