Summary
Stefano Ghazzali is a Research Fellow and Technology & Systems Advocate with nearly two decades at the crossroads of education, software development, and AI, focused on language technologies and learning systems. Based in Bangor, Wales, he combines hands-on engineering (Python, Kaldi, MaryTTS, Docker, Linux) and systems administration with product and project leadership for Welsh language tools like Cysgliad, CyfieithuCymru and the Macsen speech projects. A skilled instructional designer and former lecturer, he translates complex speech-recognition research into usable educational products and training programs. He leads grant capture, marketing and social presence for Canolfan Bedwyr, reflecting a rare blend of research, product management and community advocacy. Fellowships (FRSA, FHEA, FLPI, FITOL) underline his commitment to professional practice and learning impact. He’s quietly pragmatic: equally likely to debug a server cluster as to craft a classroom module that boosts digital language skills.
