Research Interests
My research interests lie in the area of signal processing theory and methods aimed at or involving audio. I am thus interested in both the theoretical aspects of signal processing and a wide range of different audio applications, including hearing aids, diagnosis of illnesses, music equipment, surveillance, and speech communication. Some specific topics that are of interest are listed below:
- Pitch estimation
- Modeling of speech and audio signals
- Speech enhancement
- Microphone arrays
- Sparse approximations
- Estimation theory
- Audio and speech coding
You can learn more about my research from the slides and the video below from the defense of my dr.techn. thesis (Danish highder doctorate) on April 29, 2022.
