Research Focus

My research goal is to advance signal processing and machine learning techniques for information extraction from speech, audio and video signals. My past work focused on: 1) speaker verification (voice authentication) in noisy, telephone/microphone channel degraded and non-stationary acoustic conditions, 2) speech enhancement and front-end improvement, 3) automatic highlight generation for sports videos using audio-visual features. Here is my publication list in Google scholar.
