ProfessionalExperience DSP Software Engineer

Phonak Hearing SystemsStafa, Switzerland October 2013 - Present

Focused on the development of a multi-band impulse noise cancellation algorithm forthe next generation of Hearing Instruments embedded software.

• Design, implementation and verification of a time domain filter-bank and the cor-responding sub-band transient attenuation strategy.

• Implementation based on a multi-core DSP fixed-point processor(Embedded C, multi-core scheduling).

• Model Based design for simulation, evaluation and code generation(Matlab/Simulink).• Software/code optimization techniques for the dedicated DSP Compiler.• Agile Development methodologies across multiple teams.• Interaction with a team of multidisciplinary specialists not only in Phonak but also

with Advanced Bionics ERC at Hannover, Germany.

DSP Software Engineer internPhonak Hearing SystemsStafa, Switzerland March 2013 - October 2013

Worked for the Hearing Instruments embedded software team on the development of anautonomous audio quality verification system.

• Design and implementation of an audio quality verification algorithm to identify ar-tifacts, distortions and also erroneous hearing instrument behavior(Matlab/Python).

• Investigation on audio analysis based on psychoacoustic measures.• Applied Machine Learning techniques for feature selection and classification.• Compiled Matlab standalone application and integrated on the framework of the

verification system.

DSP Research Engineer internYamaha Corporate Research and Development CenterHamamatsu, Japan September 2012 - December 2012

Collaboration with the speech and music processing group on audio signal processingand Music Information Retrieval.

• Improved several aspects of a source separation algorithm for singing voice sig-nals(Matlab/Python).

• Implemented and integrated new functionalities to a real-time VST plugin(C++).• Analyzed professional and amateur Japanese rap recordings and its pertinent pro-

perties for optimizations of the system.

• Studied melodic information relevant for the pitch estimation strategy implementedon the algorithm.

• Optimized a Dynamic Time Warping algorithm for MIDI2Audio alignment.

Mobility engineer internBarcelona Digital Technology CentreBarcelona, Spain December 2010 - June 2011

Collaborated with the Mobility R&D team on traffic safety related projects.

• Reviewed documentation and redacted a state of the art report about traffic safetyand mobile networks.

• Improved and evaluated algorithms for ad-hoc mobile networks in vehicular environ-ments (VANET).

• Developed and verified functionalities with the network simulator NS-2 (C++/Python).
