I am currently a senior applied scientist in the E2E speech modeling team at Microsoft. I completed my PhD at Johns Hopkins University in the Center for Language and Speech Processing (CLSP), advised by Prof. Shinji Watanabe. Most recently I have been working on robust speech recognition in far-field, multi-talker scenario. My PhD dissertation focused on improving ASR with front-end processing like speech denoising, speech dereverberation, source separation, and multi-source localization. During my PhD, I proposed a paradigm called directional ASR.
