I am a lecturer at the University of Salford, Acoustics Research Centre. I teach numerical methods as well as other areas.   My research is focused on machine audition. That is to build automated algorithms that can’listen’ to audio. Many people will have come accross speech recognition systems such as Siri on apple, or musical recognition systems such as sound-hound or shazam, well think of this as recognition systems for non-speech/non-music audio. One recent project I have worked on is called the good recording project.
