Neural Signal Processing

Research Assistant

2005 ~ 2011

. Developed a computational model of speech segregation, which is

based on statistical correlation across auditory features.

. Filtered signal from noise in time series biological data sets.

. Trained a support vector machine (SVM) to classify speaker-specific

correlation coefficients.

. Performed principle component analysis (PCA) to reduce speaker-

specific variable dimensions.

. Implemented an algorithm to localize effective current-dipole

sources of neural responses measured with magnetoencephalography

(MEG).

. Led a group project in designing an autoassociative neural network

to perform speaker classification based on timbre.

University of Maryland at College Park Focus on

Neural Network Modeling

Research Assistant

2001 ~ 2003

. Extracted features (such as surface temperature, length, and width)

from infrared and 3D images of chicken meat.

. Designed a Neural Network model to predict internal temperatures of

chicken meat based on the extracted features.
