Lukas Pfeifenberger
Lukas Pfeifenberger received the M.Sc. (Dipl. Ing.FH) degree in computer science from the University of Applied Sciences, Salzburg, Austria, in 2004. His master's thesis promotes the use of closed control systems in earth fault detection appliances. Since 2005 he has been working in the electronics industry on projects pertaining to FPGA design, DSP programming and communication acoustics, including algorithms for echo and noise cancellation. In 2013, he received the M.Sc. degree in Telematics at Graz University of Technology, Austria. His master's thesis decuments the implementation of an acoustic beamformer on an embedded device with limited resources. Since 2015 he has been a Research Associate at the Laboratory of Signal Processing and Speech Communication, Graz University of Technology, Austria. In 2021, he received his Ph.D. degree in computer science with honors from Graz University of Technology, Austria. His doctoral thesis explores the evolution of neural acoustic beamformers ranging from mask-based beamforming to blind speaker separation. His research interests include signal processing, machine learning, artificial intelligence, pattern recognition, computer vision, speech enhancement, acoustic echo control, speaker separation, and data analysis for industrial applications. His professional interests include electronics engineering (embedded systems, FPGAs, DSPs, analog design), software engineering (data modelling, predictive maintenance, control systems, edge-AI, VoIP systems), electro-acoustics (loudspeaker design, audio-codecs, multi-microphone synchronization), and rapid protoyping using Matlab/C++/Python
