Summary
Thomas Rolland is a Postdoctoral Researcher at INESC-ID in Lisbon with a decade of experience building robust speech systems, specializing in ASR, TTS and parameter-efficient machine learning. He completed a PhD in Artificial Intelligence at Instituto Superior Técnico after a master's in computer science from Université Paul Sabatier, and his doctoral work focused on speech technologies for therapeutic games supporting children with speech disorders. Thomas bridges academic research and applied engineering, designing models that work on pathological and child speech where data is scarce and variability is high. He has hands-on experience with both neural and statistical feature extraction methods from earlier research at IRIT and brings a practical emphasis on deployable, resource-efficient solutions. Based in Lisbon, he combines deep domain knowledge in speech processing with an interest in making ML systems accessible and clinically useful.
