Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNoëmi Aepli is a postdoctoral researcher and lab manager with eight years of interdisciplinary experience at the intersection of computational linguistics, speech technology, and NLP for dialectal language varieties. She leads research on phonetic interpretability of speech and ASR models at the University of Pennsylvania after driving dialect robustness, ASR improvements, and shared-task dataset creation at the University of Zurich, with publications in ACL, EMNLP, and WMT. Her work blends rigorous evaluation—adapting MT metrics to spelling variation—with hands-on data engineering for low-resource dialects, and she has coordinated multi-funded projects and supervised a decade’s worth of student researchers. Prior industry experience includes leading data acquisition and transcription teams for Swisscom’s AI group, giving her practical production-focused insights into speech pipelines. She is multilingual and internationally trained, with PhD-level expertise in computational linguistics and a track record of organizing community resources that accelerate research on underrepresented language varieties. Colleagues know her for combining methodological creativity with meticulous project stewardship across academic and industry settings.
