Hi there, this is Ye-Xin Lu (鲁叶欣).

I am an algorithm engineer at Alibaba Tongyi Lab, Beijing.
I received my Eng.D degree from the National Engineering Research Center for Speech and Language Information Processing (NERC-SLIP) of University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), supervised by Prof. Zhen-Hua Ling (凌震华). I graduated from School of the Gifted Young, USTC with a bachelor’s degree in electronic information engineering.
My CV can be downloaded here.

My main research interests lie in text-to-speech synthesis, speech enhancement, and speech coding.
