Master Of Engineering - Meng, Computer Engineering

Working on a deep learning model for automatic dubbing of speech from one language to another, while maintaining the speaker's voice.

Honours, Computer Engineering

Implemented an expressive(emotional) text-to-speech model in PyTorch based on a research paper. Implemented different neural network.
