About Zhepei
Hello, this is Zhepei's page. I am an Applied Scientist at Adobe Firefly Applied Science & Machine Learning (ASML). I am particularly interested in the applications of machine learning in audio domain, 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 also an enthusiastic fan of classical music, an amateur piano player, and a licensed bartender.
