About me

I received the B.S. degree in Software Engineering from Sun Yat-sen University in 2020. I obtained my PhD from the University of Surrey, where I completed my dissertation, Towards Explainable Speaker Recognition Neural Networks , under the supervision of Prof. Mark D. Plumbley and Prof. Wenwu Wang.
