Hi! I’m Yen Meng (孟妍). I’m a Ph.D. candidate at the Institute for Language, Cognition and Computation (ILCC), School of Informatics, the University of Edinburgh (UoE), supervised by Dr. Hao Tang and Prof. Sharon Goldwater. My research interests lie in topics related self-supervised learning (SSL) for speech processing and ASR.

Previously, I completed my B.S. in Electrical Engineering from National Taiwan University. I obtained my M.S. from National Taiwan University, under the supervision of Prof. Lin-Shan Lee and Prof. Hung-yi Lee, at the Speech Processing and Maching Learning Lab.
