Adam Munder is a pioneering advocate for breaking down communication barriers between the Deaf and hearing worlds. Inspired by his own experience of navigating the hearing world with limited access to designated interpreters, he cofounded OmniBridge, an Intel-backed venture that seeks to create a more inclusive world by leveraging AI to enable communication between spoken and signed languages. With over 13 years of engineering experience at Intel, Munter leads a world-class team of engineers and developers dedicated to inclusivity and empowering deaf people by leveling the playing field in English-speaking communities.

Munter has an MS in Nanoscale Engineering from SUNY Albany and multiple publications in lithography and nanotechnology. He has a broad and diverse background in applied robotics, mechanical engineering, manufacturing engineering, physics, and nanoscale device and systems engineering. Recently, he has shifted to the computer science field, especially deep learning and machine learning, which he acquired through self-study and online resources. He is passionate about bringing new technology and innovation to solve real-world problems and create positive social impact.
