J. Research & Development in Signal Processing:
A balance of theory and experimental signal processing research for Biomedical and
Commercial real-time applications, such as Hearing Aids, Digital technology/smartphone,
MRI rooms, Office spaces.
Theoretical
part of research involves:
- Single and multi-channel Speech enhancement (Quality and Intelligibility improvements),
- Deep learning, Neural Net, and machine learning,
- Single-channel and multi-channel signal estimation, modeling, and blind source separation; PCA, ICA, IVA,
- Noise classification, noise suppression, de-reverberation, echo cancellation,
- Single-channel and multi-channel Adaptive Active Noise control/reduction,
- fMRI room adaptive active noise reduction and speech enhancement,
- Linear uniform, and non-linear non-uniform microphone arrays, beamforming , and DOA estimation,
- Remote signal and noise control using parametric/directional both regular and ultrasound loudspeakers,
- Sound masking for public & office spaces.
Practical / Experimental part of the research involves
system designs:
- Portable digital technology; smartphones, tablets,
laptops,
- Digital circuitry, digital communication,
- Microphone arrays (wired and wireless)
- Loudspeaker arrays (regular, ultrasound/directional)
