About

I work in four broad areas: Speech recognition, Audio processing, Neural networks and Privacy/Security for voice processing. In audio processing, I work on noise robustness, computational auditory scene analysis, microphone array processing and source separation. In speech recognition, I work on basic research issues that need to be addressed for better automatic speech recognition. In neural networks, I am interested in specialized architectures for signal processing, learning and information routing. In addition to all of these topics, a major part of my research is focused on privacy preserving algorithms for speech and audio processing. Speech is possibly the most private form of communication; yet, when a speech processing engine such as a voice authentication system or a speech recog
