Summary
Michele Gubian is an electrical engineer and Senior Research Associate with 12 years’ experience applying machine learning and signal processing to speech and cognitive science. He pioneered the adaptation and popularisation of Functional Data Analysis for intonation and prosody, turning theoretical methods into practical, user-friendly software used in peer-reviewed research. Comfortable with messy, manually annotated data, he architects flexible, agnostic GUIs and asynchronous integrations—exemplified by his easyNet simulator that exposes both simplified workflows for novices and expert panels and consoles for power users. He has a strong track record of interdisciplinary teaching, training linguists in advanced maths and tooling, and has repeatedly bootstrapped novel ideas (e.g., temporally grounded similarity for early word acquisition) into working computational models. Based in Greater Bristol, Michele combines deep research credentials (PhD in Machine Learning) with hands-on software development that bridges academia and usable research tools.
