Summary
Stefan Braun is a machine learning researcher with a decade of experience developing deep neural networks for real-time, real-world systems, currently advancing Siri’s automatic speech recognition at Apple. He holds a PhD from ETH Zürich where he focused on end-to-end sequence-to-sequence models and multi-channel enhancement, and earlier applied robotic perception techniques to autonomous driving during a Daimler master’s project. Stefan bridges rigorous academic research and production ML, prioritizing faster, more accurate models for latency-sensitive applications. Based in Boston, he combines a strong mechanical engineering foundation with hands-on speech and sequence modeling expertise, making him adept at cross-disciplinary problems that span perception to interaction.
