Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRoman Koshkin is a research scientist based in Tokyo with eight years of experience at the intersection of speech processing, machine translation, and biologically-inspired AI. He builds real-time, full-duplex speech-to-speech systems and multimodal human-AI interfaces, blending deep learning for NLP with insights from computational neuroscience. A PhD researcher and postdoc from OIST, he has practical experience deploying simultaneous translation models and prototyping EEG- and robot-control systems at industry labs and startups. Roman’s background in linguistics and cognitive science informs his work on latency-sensitive, brain-aligned models—he’s applied spiking networks, STDP and contrastive pretraining to bridge biological plausibility with production-grade speech translation.
