Short Biosketch

I'm studying for a Ph.D. in the Department of Computer Science at Unversity of Sheffield, in the Speech and Hearing Group. My supervisor is Heidi Christensen.

I finished my B.Eng. in Computer Science at Northeastern University (China) in 2015.

I finished my M.Eng. in Speech Processing Laboratory at Harbin Institute of Technology (China) in 2017. My research direction was Speaker Verification.

Research Interests

Speech based Dementia Detection, Speech Processing, Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning
