Biography
Daniel Smith graduated with a Bachelor of Engineering in Telecommunications from the University of Wollongong in 2002.
He then pursued a PhD degree in the field of Speech Enhancement with the University of Wollongong and industry partners Motorola.
This work involved developing robust algorithms to enhance the speech of a mobile phone user from a non-stationary background environment of competing speakers and interference. His received his PhD in July 2007 for his thesis entitled “An Analysis of Blind Signal Separation for Real Time Application”. He has worked as a postdoctoral research fellow and then as a research scientist in the Tasmanian ICT Centre working on a number of sensor network projects and a commercial aquaculture project. His research interests include applied signal processing and machine learning problems in sensor network, in addition to speech and audio applications.
