Mohan Shi

Ph.D. student at UCLA

I am Mohan Shi, a first-year Ph.D. student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Abeer Alwan (Fellow of IEEE/ISCA/ASA). I received my master degree at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) and had the pleasure of working under the guidance of Prof. Li-Rong Dai for three years. My research interests span a variety of domains in the world of speech processing:

  • Automatic Speech Recognition
  • Discrete Speech Units
  • Large Language Models
  • Cocktail Party Problem

I am eagerly seeking research internship opportunities for the Summer of 2025. Please reach out if you have any leads.
