Research Interests

My research interest is to develop solutions based on signal processing, information theory, and machine learning for problems involving audio and video signals. Examples of topics that I have worked on recently are (in random order): blind source separation, entropy estimation,robust source coding for packet networks, single and multi-channel speech enhancement, video enhancement, camera control for multiview video, auditory modeling, audio and video coding, model estimation, and algorithms that predict perceived signal quality .

Ph.D. Scholarships

Ph.D. scholarships are available in audio and video processing.

Biography

Bastiaan joined Victoria in 2010. He is also a Professor (part-time) at Delft University of Technology in theMultimedia Signal Processing Group.Until his Ph.D. students are finished he also remains a Professor at KTH - the Royal Institute of Technology - in Stockholm, where he was Head of the Sound and Image Processing Laboratory before moving to New Zealand. He was a founder of Global IP Solutions, a company that developed audio and video processing technologies for communication over the Internet and which was recently acquired by Google. Before going to Sweden, Bastiaan worked in the Research Division of Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey, mostly in the area of speech processing. He holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Delft University of Technology, a Ph.D. in Soil Science from the University of California (UCR), an MS in Physics (UCR) and an MS in Electrical Engineering from Stanford. He is an IEEE Fellow.
