Senior Research Fellow
Biography
I am a Senior Research Fellow in the Acoustics Research Centre. Currently, I am involved in a number of Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and Innovate UK funded projects concerning speech and music hearing aid signal processing and acoustics and psychoacoustics of heat pumps. I am a Co-Investigator in the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Sustainable Sound Futures. I am Co-Lead in the EPSRC-funded Noise Network Plus.
I am a member of the Institute of Acoustics, where I contribute to the Research Coordination Committee and the EDI Working Group. I am also a member of the Acoustical Society of America and the International Speech Communication Association (ISCA). I am the Vice President of the International Speech Communication Association (ISCA) Special Interest Group on Speech and Language Processing for Assistive Technologies (SIG-SLPAT). I am on the UK and Ireland Speech Committee, the Computational Audiology Network board and the European Acoustics Association Technical Committee on Audio Signal Processing.
