Career

Experience

Research Assistant

Nazarbayev University BCI Lab

Jan 2023 — Jul 2026

• Developing speech synthesis system from EEG signals, implementing spectral analysis and signal preprocessing with vocoder architectures for neural speech generation • Designed transformer-based EEG2Face framework for EEG-driven emotional 3D face generation, including disentangled latent representations for controllable expression synthesis • Built multimodal emotion recognition models across EEG, audio, and video modalities, achieving 73.2% EEG-based accuracy and 79.2% EEG-vision fusion accuracy

Data Scientist

International Kazkah Language Society

Jan 2026 — Jun 2026

• Built large-scale Kazakh speech data pipeline for 10k+ hours of audio, including segmentation, metadata cleaning, quality filtering, and transformation for ASR model training • Developed a transcription pipeline using a fine-tuned Whisper model, VAD, and stem/source separation for scalable generation of training data • Built an OCR pipeline with layout support for 47k Kazakh books and magazines, optimizing preprocessing and inference for low-resource hardware to extract text corpora for downstream NLP and LLM applications
