Department of Signal Processing and Acoustics
Department of Signal Processing and Acoustics
The Department of Signal Processing and Acoustics (SPA) combines competence in different areas of research fields varying from ICT technology to core electrical engineering and its basic phenomena.
Open positions in SPA
Research
The research conducted in the unit is of highest international quality, in many of these areas, and the cooperation tight with several ICT and other high-tech companies.
With these companies, we boost practical applications that create societal impact.
Metrology Research Institute
Metrology Research Institute focuses on optical radiation measurements and related activities. We do not forecast the weather!
Signal processing
Our goal is to do world-class signal processing research by focusing on fundamental signal processing theory and methods.
Communication acoustics: spatial sound and psychoacoustics
Capturing, transmission, reproduction, synthesis, and perception of sound - these are the fields that interest us in the communication acoustics team.
Audio signal processing
The Audio Signal Processing Research Group is working on wideband sound technology, which is extensively applicable for example in mobile phones, music technology, and noise control.
Speech technology
The Speech Technology research group works on developing new methods and approaches to discovering and processing patterned information within speech and audio signals.
Speech communication technology
Speech communication technology aims at describing, explaining and reproducing communication by speech.
Speech recognition
Our goal is to generally improve the speech recognition methodology with the help of the new algorithms developed in Aalto University. Speech recognition offers challenging benchmarking tasks for efficient algorithms that can process and learn to represent large quantities of data.
