2002-2005 |
Dissertation: “Audio Watermarking
through Parametric Signal Representations.”
Invented, implemented, and evaluated an audio watermarking scheme
based on sine + noise signal decomposition. The scheme demonstrates
robust and transparent data hiding at about 5-10 bits per second.
It also shows potential in meta data hiding for the purpose of sound
source segregation, a novel application previously unexplored in
the watermarking literature.
Advisors: Dr. Julius Smith and Dr. Marina Bosi. |
2001 |
Summer Internship, AT&T Research

Developed signal processing algorithms for acoustic echo cancellation.
Mentors: Dr. Larry Jackel and Dr. Richard Howard. |
2000 |
Summer Internship, VerbalTek Inc.,
San Jose, CA.

2003-2004 |
Teaching Assistant, Center for
Computer Assisted Research in the Humanities, Stanford University.
Held weekly lab sessions on software for music analysis, typesetting,
and creation, in Windows, DOS, and UNIX/Linux platforms. Gave instruction
on UNIX pipelining and regular expressions.
Mentor: Prof. Eleanor Selfrige-Field and Dr. Craig Sapp. |
2001-2002 |
Teaching Assistant, Center for Computer Research
