Welcome!

Hi, I'm Zhuohuang, I am currently a lecturer at Shenzhen Polytechnic University (School of Artificial Intelligence).
Prior to this, I was a senior researcher at Tencent. I completed my Ph.D. in both Speech & Hearing Sciences and Computer Science at Indiana University Bloomington, under the supervision of Prof. Yi Shen (SLHS, now at UW) and Prof. Donald Williamson (CS, now at OSU).
During my Ph.D. study, I worked on several projects on speech enhancement, speech assessment and human speech perception. Our work on non-intrusive speech assessment was recognized as the outstanding student paper in ICASSP 2021. I have also previously interned at Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services (2021), Tencent AI Lab (2020) and DiDi Chuxing (2019).
