Carlos Daniel Hernández Mena

About

He earned his degree in Communications and Electronics Engineering from the Instituto Politécnico Nacional (IPN) in Mexico City. He later pursued a Master of Engineering in Computer Engineering at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), where he also completed his Ph.D. in Digital Signal Processing, specializing in Automatic Speech Recognition. In 2019, he began a postdoctoral fellowship at the Institute of Linguistics & Language Technology (ILLT) at the University of Malta. In 2021, he joined the University of Reykjavík as a postdoctoral researcher at the Language and Voice Lab (LVL). In 2023, he moved to the Barcelona Supercomputing Center as a research engineer. His primary research interests include Automatic Speech Recognition for minority languages, corpus curation and creation, and applied phonetics.
