`
`RESEARCH:
`
`Founded The Center for Robust Speech Systems (CRSS) at the Univ. of Texas at Dallas in 2005 which is focoused on
`
`interdisciplinary research in speech processing and human computer interaction. Oversees the CRSS - RSTL (Robust Speech
`
`Technologies Lab), CRSS - UTDrive Lab (Driver Beahvior/Distration Lab), and CRSS - CILab (Cochlear Implant Processing
`
`Lab). Originally founded the Robust Speech Processing Laboratory in 1988 at Duke University, which became the Robust
`
`Speech Processing Group (RSPG) at CSLR in 1999, Univ. of Colorado, now the Center for Robust Speech Systems (CRSS-
`
`UTDallas). Research has focused on interdisciplinary areas in robust speech processing and recognition, machine learning,
`
`digital signal processing, speech and speaker analysis, human-computer interfaces/interaction, speech enhancement and
`
`processing in noise, and voice communications. Specific research accomplishments include analysis and modeling of speech
`
`for voice and telecommunications applications, robustness issues for speech recognition in adverse conditions, speech
`
`enhancement, spoken document retrieval, in-vehicle voice navigation dialog systems, and voice modeling in noise, stress,
`
`accent, and Lombard effect. Has also had extensive collaborations on research in telemedicine, resulting in numerous
`
`contributions in medical speech processing involving detection and quality assessment of speech under stress and pathology.
`
`At Univ. of Colorado, he co-founded the Center for Spoken Language Research, which is now CRSS at UTD and has focused
`
`on rich transcription for spoken document retrieval, hands-free robust recognition for in-vehicle voice navigation, advanced
`
`human-computer interaction, speaker/speech analysis for stress, accent/dialect analysis and modeling, and Lombard effect.
`
`While at Duke University Dept. Electrical Engineering, established collaborative research program with Duke Medical Center
`
`(Dept. of Pediatrics, Speech & Language Pathology), Johns Hopkins Medical Center, Scottish Rite Children's Medical Center.
`
`At University of Colorado, he has established collaborations with Walter Reed Army Institute of Research, NATO
`
`ITO/RSG.10, Nagoya University (Japan), Aalborg University (Denmark), Helsinki Univ. of Technology (Finland), Vincent
`
`Voice Library (Michigan State Univ.), Collaborative Digitization Program (Colorado), and Tufts University Digital Library.
`
`At University of Texas-Dallas, he established/continued collaborations with Nagoya University (Japan), Koc Univ./Sabanci
`
`Univ. (Turkey), Aalborg University (Denmark), Collaborative Digitization Program (Colorado), SRI , IBM TJ Watson
`
`Research Center, Texas Instruments, University of Zaragoza (Spain), Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, (Spain).
`
`The majority of research in the field of speech processing for telecommunications focuses on formulating algorithms for ideal
`
`laboratory conditions. As many have shown, the resulting algorithms do not perform well in real or actual voice
`
`communication environments. The systems we develop focus on addressing issues relating to robustness issues of speech
`
`applications in telecommunications. Some of these issues relate to speech produced in noise, high stress, accent, or Lombard
`
`effect. The future of Multimedia human/machine interfaces will depend on system approaches which are capable of
`
`addressing the wide range of adverse conditions in which speech may be produced for applications in speech recognition,
`
`communications, language identification, speaker recognition, and other telecommunication applications.
`
`Formulated the first class of constrained iterative speech enhancement algorithms based on novel properties of
`
`speech production and auditory processing. Established the only working framework based on Source Generator
`
`Theory for characterizing speech production under stress, resulting in novel stress equalization and noise
`
`suppression algorithms for robust speech recognition in noise, stress, and Lombard effect. NSF funded
`
`collaborative research program (with Michigan State Univ.: Electrical Engineering [Prof. Deller] and Vincent
`
`Voice Library [Prof. Seadle]) resulted in the development of SpeechFind [http://Speechfind.utdallas.edu] ---
`
`spoken document retrieval system which spans audio from the past 110 years. Research also in the area of smart
`
`vehicle systems for improved human-vehicle interaction. Includes DARPA sponsored CU-Move and
`
`NEDO/UTD supported UTDrive [http://www.utd.edu/research/utdrive/Home.htm], and international
`
`collaboration with Japan, Turkey, Singapore, Italy.
`
`The Robust Speech Processing Laboratory (RSPL) was established in 1988, and continued on as the Robust
`
`Speech Processing Group at CSLR, and now Robust Speech Technologies Lab (RSTL) within the Center for
`
`Robust Speech Systems (CRSS) at UD-Dallas. Has served as Principal Investigator on more than $25M in
`
`external funded research from such sources as DoD/DARPA, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, NSF, NIH -

`PROFESSIONAL HONORS:
`
`2019 Documentary Movie Apollo-11: CRSS-UTDallas CITED MOVIE CREDIT:
`
`2019 Documentary Movie Apollo-11: CRSS-UTDallas CITED MOVIE
`
`CREDIT: CRSS RSTL received support from NSF for "Houston We Have A
`
`Solution: Rich Knowledge Access for Information Retrieval of the NASA
`
`Archive", which allowed CRSS to develop state-of-the-art technologies for
`
`dariziation of naturalistic audio over multi-channel audio channels. Under the
`
`direction of Hansen (PI), CRSS oversaw a 6-yr effort to digitize Apollo audio,
`
`and organize a team of of UTDallas CRSS Staff (Dr. Abhijeet Sangwan) and
`
`CRSS PhD Students (Chengzhu Yu, Lakshmish Kaushik, Aditya Joglekar,
`
`Meena Mudha Chandra Shekar, Tuan Nguyen) who worked extensively for
`
`four years to build a hardware solution with a new customized patch panel for
`
`digitizing Apollo 1-inch tapes. A total of 19,000hrs of Apollo audio from
`
`Apollo-11 and Apollo-13. Next, after development of a state-of-the-art
`
`Diarization Pipeline specifically for NASA Apollo audio content, CRSS-
`
`UTDallas moved forward to process all audio data with CRSS diarization
`
`pipeline processing. These are all now being released publically. The CRSS-
`
`RSTL release is FEARLESS STEPS challenge for audio to the community.
`
`CNN received all diarized digital audio, which allowed CNN to search for the
`
`potential audio content using CRSS-UTDallas search engine so as to stitch
`
`digital audio content with silent film video recorded by NASA in MOCR -
`
`Mission Operation Control Room. Much of the actual video in the NASA
`
`MOCR in the CNN Apollo-11 movie was created using CRSS-UTDallas
`
`diarized FEARLESS STEPS audio from Apollo-11. CNN included John
`
`Hansen and UTDallas in the film credits for audio used in the movie.
