John Hansen

John H. L. Hansen received the Ph.D. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, Georgia, in 1988 and 1983, and the B.S.E.E. degree from Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey, in 1982. He is the Department Chairman and Professor in the Electrical Engineering Department, where he holds the Distinguished Chair in telecommunications engineering, Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science, and Professor in speech and hearing, School of Brain and Behavioral Sciences, University of Texas at Dallas, Richardson, Texas. At UTD, he established the Center for Robust Speech Systems (CRSS) which is part of the Human Language Technology Institute. Previously, he served as Department Chairman and Professor in the Department of Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences (SLHS), and Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Colorado at Boulder, where he cofounded the Center for Spoken Language Research. In 1988, he established the Robust Speech Processing Laboratory (RSPL) and continues to direct research activities in CRSS at UTD. He is serving as the IEEE Signal Processing Society Distinguished Lecturer for 2005, and Member of the IEEE Speech Technical Committee, and has served as Technical Advisor to US Delegate for NATO (IST/TG-01), Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Speech & Audio Processing(1992–1999), and an Associate Editor for the IEEE Signal Processing Letters (1998–2000). His research interests span the areas of digital speech processing, analysis and modeling of speech and speaker traits, speech enhancement, feature estimation in noise, robust speech recognition with emphasis on spoken document retrieval, and in-vehicle interactive systems for hands-free human-computer interaction. In 2005, he was the recipient of the University of Colorado Teacher Recognition Award.
