RAJESH R
Audio Signal Processing and Deep Learning
I am a PhD Research Scholar at the University of Illinois Chicago in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, working in the Listening Technology Lab under the supervision of Dr. Ryan M. Corey. My research focuses on audio signal processing, with a particular emphasis on hearing aid technologies.
Previously, I earned my MS by Research degree from the School of Computing and Electrical Engineering (SCEE) at the Indian Institute of Technology, Mandi. During this time, I was deeply involved in developing end-to-end deep learning models for music source separation at the Multimedia Analytics, Networks & Systems (MANAS) laboratory, under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Padmanabhan Rajan.
My academic journey began with a bachelor's degree in Electronics & Communication Engineering at S.A. Engineering College, affiliated with Anna University in Chennai. After graduation, I gained valuable industry experience at DeTect Technologies Pvt Ltd.
My MS dissertation research primarily focused on designing efficient end-to-end neural networks to address the challenges of music source separation and interference reduction in live recordings. I am passionate about tackling mathematically challenging research problems, particularly in the field of audio signal processing.
