Xuan Shi (史璇)

I am a Ph.D. student in Electrical Engineering from University of Southern California, supervised by Prof. Shrikanth (Shri) S. Narayanan. I primarily focus my research on speech and audio processing, with specific interests in: speech production and articulatory knowledge analysis, music understanding.

I also have long-term collaborations with Dr. Erica Cooper, Dr. Xin Wang, and Prof. Junichi Yamagishi at National Institute of Informatics, Japan on musical instruments timbre analysis and music audio synthesis. Outside of USC and NII, I have spent several interning at research labs in academia and industry: Tencent, NLPR CASIA, and ByteDance.
