Dr. Raman has over 25 years of leadership experience in advanced technology development. After his graduation, he joined Cornell as a Mathematician who intended to apply his mathematics background to the field of Robotics and Computer Vision. While doing his Computer Science coursework, he discovered the potential presented by the combination of speech technology and richly-structured electronic documents. He then started building a system that used textto-speech (TTS) to render such content. This led to Audio System for Technical Readings (ASTER).
