Biography

I am currently a Master of Science in Engineering (MSE) student in Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at Johns Hopkins University, where I am affiliated with the Smile Lab at the Center for Language and Speech Processing (CLSP) under the mentorship of Prof. Berrak Sisman. I also work as a remote research assistant at Shanghai Jiao Tong University X-LANCE Lab under the mentorship of Prof. Xie Chen. I completed my undergraduate studies at Shanghai Normal University under the mentorship of Prof. Yanhua Long.

I work in the field of Audio, Generative model, Machine learning, and Deep learning. Currently, I focus on the following research topics:

• Speech Synthesis (Text to Speech)
• Audio Understanding
• Sound Event Detection

I'm a Manchester United fanatic, and my dream is to see them conquer the Premier League once more. Feel free to reach out if you want to talk footy!😊😊
