Pejman Mowlaee (S’07–M’11–SM’14) received his B.Sc. in electrical engineering and M.Sc. in Telecommunications Engineering from Guilan University, Rasht, Iran, the Iran University of Science and Technology, Iran, in 2004 and 2006, respectively, and his Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Aalborg University, Denmark, in 2010. From 2011 to 2012, he was a Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellow for Digital Signal Processing in Audiology (AUDIS) at the Institute of Communication Acoustics, Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Bochum, Germany. During 2012 to 2017 he was an assistant professor at Graz University of Technology. He received his Privatdozent degree in the field of speech signal processing from the Graz University of Technology, Graz, Austia, in 2017. Since 2017, he is an Adjunct Professor for speech signal processing at the Graz University of Technology, Graz, Austria. Since 2017, he has been an External Associate Professor with Graz University of Technology and principal investigator for research group at SPSC Lab. From Dec. 2017 to Nov. 2020 he was Signal Processing Specialist with Widex Sivantos Audiology (WSA), Lynge, Denmark where his main responsibility was innovation, exploration, scouting and development of new signal processing concepts for hearing aid. Between Dec. 2020-March 2022, he was a Senior Research Scientist and project manager at GN Audio A/S (Jabra). Since March 2022 he is lead research scientist. His research interests include acoustic signal processing and machine learning for audio applications and communication including signal enhancement, source separation, speech quality estimation, Echo Control, and signal processing for TX and RX audio applications. 

Prof. Mowlaee has received several awards during his academic career, to name a few: Young researcher’s Award for M.Sc. (2005 and 2006), awarded as the best M.Sc. thesis selected by National Scientific Students’ Organization of Electrical Engineering (NSOEE) in 2007. He is active reviewer for several journals in the field including IEEE Transactions on Audio, Speech and Language Processing, Elsevier Digital Signal Processing and Speech Communication, EURASIP and reviewer for ICASSP, EUSIPCO and INTERSPEECH conferences. He is a senior member of IEEE. He was co-organizer for special session entitled “Phase Importance in Speech processing ” at INTERSPEECH 2014 in Singapore and guest editor for the special issue on “Phase-Aware Signal Processing in Speech Communication” in Elsevier. He has been part of the organizing committee for EUSIPCO 2010, AUDIS workshop 2012 and INTERSPEECH 2019.  He is an Associate Editor for the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Audio, Speech and Language Processing and an elected Member of the IEEE Signal Processing Society Technical Committee on Audio and Acoustic Signal Processing.
