Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSewade Ogun is an AI researcher based in Paris with nine years of experience specializing in speech language models, text-to-speech, voice conversion and speech-to-speech systems. Currently at GetVocal AI, he focuses on building explainable and controllable voice agents that bridge research and product needs. His PhD work at Inria advanced generative approaches for TTS and voice conversion and methods to close the distributional gap between synthetic and real ASR data, alongside curating datasets for robust training. Earlier roles span weakly‑supervised ASR for African languages, infant cry diagnostics, conversational AI, and practical analytics work in industry—demonstrating rare cross-domain fluency from field data collection to model deployment. He pairs strong academic credentials (PhD, multiple MSc degrees, and a first‑class BTech) with hands‑on engineering, teaching experience, and a penchant for connecting ideas—the kind of researcher who builds both models and the datasets that make them reliable.
