I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from The Ohio State University in 2017. I worked with Professor DeLiang Wang in Perception and Neurodynamics Laboratory. My PhD research focused on data-driven speech separation in adverse environments. I am currently interested in speech synthesis, music understanding/generation, and multi-modality learning.
