Alberto Abad is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (DEI) of Instituto Superior Técnico and senior researcher at INESC-ID that has developed his research career in the area of human language technologies for more than 15 years. Alberto Abad obtained the Telecommunication Engineering degree on 2002 from Technical University of Catalonia (UPC). Between 2002 and 2006 he was a PhD student at the TALP Research Centre of the Department of Signal Theory and Communications of the UPC and obtained the PhD degree in June 2007. At UPC, he was responsible for various technical tasks in European and National Spanish projects. He was also a lecturer in the Telecommunication Engineering School of Barcelona and collaborating lecturer in the doctorate program of the Department of Signal Theory and Communications. In February 2007, Alberto Abad joined the Spoken Language Systems Lab (L2F) of INESC-ID as a post-doc researcher and in July 2008 he obtained a “FCT Programa Ciência” contract for 5 years. During that period, Alberto Abad developed research on automatic speech recognition and robust speech processing; he led the group’s efforts in the area of speaker and language characterisation; and he pioneered research on the area of health-care applications that benefit from human language technologies, among others. Since then, he has been Principal Investigator of FCT funded project VITHEA and INESC-ID representative in the DIRHA European project, Biovisualspeech CMU-Portugal project, and TAPAS ITN. He has also been team member in various national and international projects, and team leader in international technological evaluation challenges achieving excellent results. He has supervised and co-supervised several thesis and grant students work and collaborated in courses of both the Computer Science and the Electrical and Computer Engineering degrees of Instituto Superior Te ?cnico (IST) of the University of Lisbon. In August 2013, Alberto Abad was hired as an Invited Researcher and Professor at the IST, where was lecturer of the “Mestrado Integrado em Engenharia Electrotécnica e de Computadores” (MEEC) during the academic years 2013-2014 and 2014-2015. In February 2015, Alberto Abad obtained a position as Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (DEI) of the IST. During his sabbatical leave in 2018, Alberto Abad integrated the CSTR Laboratory of the University of Edinburgh as a Researcher Associate. His current research interests include robust speech recognition, speaker and language characterization, applied machine learning, health-care applications, and privacy-preserving speech processing and machine learning.
