Patrick Naylor is a professor specializing in communications signal processing, particularly in acoustic signal processing and speech processing. His research interests focus on the critical role of sound in everyday life, including capturing, processing, storing, and transmitting sound, which has become pivotal in telecommunications and entertainment over the years. Naylor's work addresses new challenges in the growing research field, specifically in spatial audio, which involves considering the acoustic environment in which sound exists. His acoustic signal processing tasks include reducing noise in speech, locating sound direction using multiple microphones, and suppressing the effects of reverberation. He has been working in this field for many years and continually encounters new research questions that require innovative signal processing algorithms to tackle. A recent research project explores robot audition enhancements using acoustic signal processing techniques to improve human-robot interactions.
