" Aboring in Signal Processing Lab, growing up in Sound Perceptive Team, I loved understanding all about Sound."

I'm an audio engineer, majoring in sound algorithm development, including speech, microphone, microphone array, speaker, spatial audio...etc. I will tell them apart to three topics: AIdio(AI-Audio), Spadio(Spatial-Audio), and Commudio (Communication-Audio). I really like to know how the sound or sound effect happened. Nothing can be more fascinating and wonderful than immerse in true sound.
