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
