About me
Emanuël Habets was born in Maastricht, The Netherlands, on April 12, 1976.
He received the B.Sc degree in electrical engineering from the Hogeschool Limburg, The Netherlands, in 1999, and the M.Sc and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven (TU/e), The Netherlands, in 2002 and 2007, respectively. From March 2007 until February 2009, he was a postdoctoral fellow at the Technion - Israel Institute of Technology and at the Bar-Ilan University in Ramat-Gan, Israel. In 2009, he was awarded a Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowship for Career Development. From February 2009 until November 2010, he was a Member of the Research Staff in the Communication and Signal Processing Group at Imperial College London, United Kingdom. In November 2010, he joined the International Audio Laboratories Erlangen (a joint institution of Fraunhofer IIS and the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg) as a professor in Perception-based Spatial Audio Signal Processing. Since then he is also a Chief Scientist Spatial Audio Processing at Fraunhofer IIS, Germany.
His research interests are in the areas of speech and audio signal processing, and he has worked in particular on speech dereverberation, microphone array processing, echo cancellation and suppression, system identification and equalization, and localization and tracking of stationary and moving acoustic sources.
Dr. Habets was a member of the organization committee of the 2005 International Workshop on Acoustic Echo and Noise Control (IWAENC) and is a member of the IEEE Signal Processing Society Technical Committee on Audio and Acoustic Signal Processing. He is a general co-chair of the International Workshop on Applications of Signal Processing to Audio and Acoustics (WASPAA) to be held in Mohonk Mountain House, New Paltz, New York in 2013.
