Huajian Fang received his PhD degree for his thesis Model-Based Deep Speech Enhancement for Improved Interpretability and Robustness".

His thesis explores how integrating statistical modeling with deep learning-based approaches can improve speech enhancement. To achieve this, uncertainty estimation is introduced into DNN-based speech enhancement to increase interpretability. Furthermore, the thesis develops noise-aware generative methods using a VAE-NMF framework, which further boosts performance and reliability in challenging acoustic conditions.

Congratulations!
