Professional info
 

I am a dedicated researcher in the field of signal processing related to audio and acoustics applications. Currently, I am working on 3D audio for VR/AR and active noise control.

 

Research interests: Signal processing, spatial audio (3D audio), acoustics, psychoacoustics, data analysis, virtual reality, augmented reality, human-computer interaction.

 

My research work aims at improving human’s listening experience, with a focus on the following aspects:

  • Enhancing the audio reproduction quality by decoupling the audio content with the audio playback system configurations, through primary ambient extraction approaches;

  • Personalization of audio reproduction to match each listener’s listening profile, through HRTF measurement and individualization approaches;

  • Mitigating annoying noise from the environment perceived by the listener, through active noise control approaches.
