Yulun (Ben) Wu

I’m Yulun (Ben) Wu, a second-year M.S. student in Electrical & Computer Engineering at UIUC focusing on machine learning for audio and spatial signal processing. I’m currently working in SiNRG lab, advised by Prof. Romit Roy Choudhury. My recent work spans multi-channel speech dereverberation with diffusion posterior sampling, spatial audio coding, and subspace beamforming, and I serve as a Graduate TA for ECE 310 (Digital Signal Processing). Previously, I interned at Sony’s Audio Product Design group in Tokyo, where I developed and evaluated ANC algorithms for the WH-1000XM5 series. I enjoy building end-to-end systems that marry careful DSP with modern generative models.

Outside the lab, music is a huge part of my life. I minored in music as an undergrad and spent four years as the lead guitarist in a rock band starting in high school. The love of music is my inspiration and motivation to dedicate to the audio speech research. My favoriate artists are J.Cole and Pink Floyd.
