The methods of my research directions is theory and fundamental of digital signal processing, statistical signal processing and machine learning and their application in acoustics and speech communication in general and for hearing assistive devices in particular. In my research, I am interested in the synergy between the following disciplines: signal processing theory, speech communication, psycho-acoustics and auditory cognition, big data and machine intelligence. My specific research areas of interest listed below:

• Single-\Multi-channel Signal Enhancement

• Echo Control

• Source separation

• Signal processing for hearing assistive devices

• Phase estimation

• Estimation theory

• Speech coding

• Human inspired signal processing 

• Speech quality estimation 

For more information you can find my Habilitation lecture recorded video on speech signal processing field of science given on 22.06.2016.
