PhD Candidate
City of Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom
Summary
🤩
RockstarSrikanth Ronanki is a PhD candidate at the Centre for Speech Technology Research, University of Edinburgh, with 11 years of professional experience building backend systems and data pipelines for speech synthesis. He contributes to the Merlin speech synthesis project, where his work on acoustic feature extraction, WORLD vocoder integration, and data preparation highlights a strong focus on turning research prototypes into reproducible, production-ready pipelines. Comfortable at the intersection of research and engineering, he blends data science rigor with practical scripting and configuration skills to support voice conversion and synthesis experiments. Based in Edinburgh, he pairs academic depth with hands-on open-source impact, helping bridge complex signal-processing algorithms and scalable tooling. An understated strength is his attention to the often-overlooked end-to-end data workflow that makes advanced speech models reliably trainable and deployable.
