Dr. Shen Xiaoyi specializes in active noise control, audio signal processing, and intelligent acoustics. She received her Bachelor’s degree in Communication Engineering from Chang’an University, her Master’s degree in Electronics from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), and her Ph.D. in Audio Signal Processing from NTU. She subsequently completed postdoctoral research at NTU before joining the Institute of Acoustics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Dr. Shen has produced a series of original contributions across multiple areas, including active noise‑canceling headphones, active noise‑canceling windows, and the application of deep learning to active noise control systems. She has authored over 30 academic publications, which have garnered more than 900 Google Scholar citations and an h‑index of 21. As first author, she has published papers in prominent acoustics journals such as Mechanical Systems and Signal Processing, IEEE Signal Processing Letters, Journal of Sound and Vibration, and Applied Acoustics, and has presented multiple papers and delivered session talks at the top‑tier signal processing conference ICASSP.
