I
am a postdoctoral research associate working with Professor Carol Y. Espy Wilson
in Speech
communication lab and Professor Shihab
Shamma in Neural systems
lab. My primary research interest is in speech signal
processing, particularly in speech production and auditory signal
processing, i.e. how human produces speech and how speech is
processed in human auditory system.
Ph.D. Thesis
