Ivan Bulyko grew up in Moscow, Russia. In 1992, he moved to Boston,
MA where he received a full tuition scholarship from Suffolk University.
He graduated Summa Cum Laude in 1997, earning a B. S. degree in Computer
Science and Electrical Engineering. Ivan started his graduate studies at
Boston University, where in 1999 he received an M. S. degree in Computer
Engineering, before transferring to the University of Washington to pursue
his Ph.D. Ivan's research interests include speech synthesis, recognition
and natural language processing.
Dissertation: Flexible Speech Synthesis using Weighted Finite-State
Transducers. (pdf, ps).
