Research

Our research focuses on designs and algorithms for real-time digital signal processing/speech processing-based systems.

In our lab, a huge microphone-array (HMA) system that supports real-time processing and data acquisition for 512 microphones has been in operation for more than seven years. It is still in use for algorithm research and data acquisition.

Other research areas include speech recognition, reconfigurable computing, etc.
