Elwin Huaman

Elwin Huaman is a Peruvian computer scientist, researcher, and digital activist dedicated to the preservation and revitalization of Indigenous and under-resourced languages, with a particular focus on Quechua. Born and raised in Nuñoa, a Quechua community in southern Peru near the border between Puno and Cusco, Huaman grew up speaking Quechua as his mother tongue. This personal connection to a language facing digital marginalization has shaped his life's work: ensuring that Indigenous languages and knowledge systems are represented and accessible in the digital age.

Currently, he particularly works at the intersection of Human Inspired AI, Knowledge Graphs, and Under-Resourced Languages.
