I am a research scientist for Kuzer Co., working in conjunction with DeLiang Wang in
the Perception and Neurodynamics Lab in the
Department of
Computer Science and Engineering at The Ohio State University. I completed my Ph.D. in Computer
Science and Engineering in 2012 under the supervision of Dr. Wang.
My work focuses on the design of algorithms to organize and analyze audio content in a manner that is similar to human listeners. This research brings
together machine learning, signal processing and auditory perception.
My thesis dealt with isolating the sound of one voice among many and estimating the position of sound sources from signals that resemble those that enter
human ears. One of the main goals of this work is improving speech intelligibility in complex acoustic settings.
I have also worked on microphone-array signal processing for digital hearing aids while I was a visiting researcher at Oticon in Copenhagen,
Denmark, and music signal processing while working with Bryan Pardo in the
Interactive Audio Lab in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at
Northwestern University.
