Dr Simone Graetzer
| Post Nominals | Ph.D., M.I.O.A. |
|---|---|
| Biography | I am a Senior Research Fellow in Speech Signal Processing on the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) funded project, Clarity: Challenges to Revolutionise Hearing Device Processing, in the Acoustics Research Group. I am also a Senior Research Fellow on the Cadenza Project on signal processing to improve music listening for users of hearing aids and on the Innovate UK funded Future Homes project, in which we are investigating the human response to air source heat pump noise. I am a Co-Investigator in the Centre for Doctoral Training in Sustainable Sound Futures. I am Co-Lead in the new Noise Network Plus (EPSRC press release: https://www.ukri.org/news/tackling-tomorrows-engineering-research-challenges/). I am a member of the Institute of Acoustics, where I contribute to the Research Coordination Committee and the EDI Working Group. I am also a member of the Acoustical Society of America and the International Speech Communication Association (ISCA). I am Chair of the Early Career Executive Board of the UK Acoustics Network Plus (UKAN+), and EDI Lead. I am also the Vice President of the International Speech Communication Association (ISCA) Special Interest Group on Speech and Language Processing for Assistive Technologies (SIG-SLPAT). I am on the UK and Ireland Speech Committee and the European Acoustics Association Technical Committee on Audio Signal Processing. |
