About me

About me

Pasi Pertilä received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from Tampere University of Technology (TUT), in 2003 and 2009, from the fields of information technology and signal processing, respectively. He has worked as a Senior Research Fellow at the Laboratory of Signal Processing at TUT, where he managed and worked in academic and industry funded projects, and lectured the introduction course to audio signal processing. He currently works as a Staff Scientist at the Faculty of Information Technology and Communication Sciences (ITC) at Tampere University, where he is responsible in managing the CIVIT infrastructure. He manages the machine learning research team at the 3D media research group, which focuses on analysis of 3D sensor information. He manages and carries out research projects related in this area, supervises PhD, MSc, and BSc students. His research interests include 3D and spatial sensing, using microphone array technologies for source tracking, speech enhancement and separation, and self-localization and synchronization of microphone arrays. Dr. Pasi Pertilä has contributed 39 refereed publications.
