Bio

Hello, this is Zhepei's page. I am a researcher at the MusicAI Group of Adobe Research. I am particularly interested in the applications of machine learning in music, audio and speech processing, including sound synthesis, sound recognition, source separation, speech enhancement, and multi-modal representation learning.

Before joining Adobe, I was an applied scientist at Amazon Web Services (AWS) for both full-time and several internship experiences, solving customer problems on real-time speech enhancement and enterprise search. I earned my Ph.D. degree from the Department of Computer Science at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) in 2023, advised by Professor Paris Smaragdis. Prior to my Ph.D. program, I obtained my B.S. in computer science from Harvey Mudd College in May 2018.

Feel free to checkout my academic CV , Google Scholar, and LinkedIn profile.

I'm recently getting trained as a pop singer. I'm also an enthusiastic fan of classical music, an amateur piano player, a licensed bartender, and a tennis player.
