Summary

I have several years of research experience in speech signal processing, focusing on spatial hearing and speech enhancement in challenging environments. At JAIST, I worked on monaural 3D sound localization using HRTF features under Prof. Masashi Unoki. For my Ph.D. at Nagoya University with Prof. Tomoki Toda, my main topic was directional target speaker extraction (TSE) in noisy and underdetermined conditions, resulting in publications such as TASLP. My future goal is to extend statistical signal processing (such as independent/low-rank and spatial covariance modeling) by coupling it with DNN priors and latest LLM-based context, aiming for identifiable, sample-efficient, and real-time/low-latency streaming speech enhancement.
