Hello, my name is Alejandro Ciuba

I am a current 1st year PhD student in computer science with minors at The University of Pittsburgh. I serve as a Provost Academy Leader in the Pitt Provost Academy. I am a current graduate research assistant to Dr. Dan Villarreal, working on his APLS LABB-CAT project using applied ASR technology. I am about to start work with Dr. Aakash Gautam. My previous research includes working on machine translation for under-resourced languages during my time in the 8th Frederick Jelinek Memorial Summer Workshop at Johns Hopkins University, assisting in the cleaning and organizing of the PELIC Speech dataset, and previously serving as an audio transcriber for APLS. I have also served as a teaching assistant to Dr. John Ramirez for his CS445: Algorithms & Data Structures 1 course (Fall 2021-Spring 2022) and Dr. Na-Rae Han for her LING1330: Introduction to Computational Linguistics Course (Fall 2022).
