- Profile
-
Professor Brown obtained a BSc (Hons) Applied Science from Sheffield City Polytechnic in 1984 and a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Sheffield in 1992. He was appointed to a lectureship in the Department of Computer Science, University of Sheffield in 1992.
He also obtained the MEd in Teaching and Learning from the University of Sheffield in 1997. He has held visiting appointments at LIMSI-CNRS (France), Ohio State University (USA), Helsinki University of Technology (Finland) and ATR (Japan).
He was appointed to a Chair of Computer Science in 2013. Professor Brown was Head of the Department of Computer Science from 2015 to 2023.
- Research interests
-
Professor Brown's main research interest is Computational Auditory Scene Analysis (CASA), which aims to build machine systems that mimic the ability of human listeners to segregate complex mixtures of sound.
He also has interests in noise-robust and reverberation-robust automatic speech recognition, models of auditory function in normal and impaired hearing, binaural modelling and the phonetics of overlapping speech. A recent interest is the application of CASA technology in mobile robot platforms.
He is the co-editor (with DeLiang Wang) of Computational auditory scene analysis: Principles, Algorithms, and Applications (IEEE Press/Wiley-Interscience).
