Short Biography

Ina Kodrasi is heading the Signal Processing for Communication Group at Idiap Research Institute, which focuses on establishing signal processing and machine learning approaches to tackle a wide range of challenges arising in human communication.
She received the Master of Science degree in Communications, Systems and Electronics in 2010 from Jacobs University Bremen, Germany and the PhD degree in 2015 from the University of Oldenburg, Germany. From 2010 to 2015 she worked as a researcher at the Signal Processing Group of the University of Oldenburg. From 2010 to 2011 she was also with the Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technology (IDMT), Project group Hearing, Speech and Audio Technology in Oldenburg where she worked on microphone array beamforming. From 2015 to 2017 she was a postdoctoral researcher at the Signal Processing Group of the University of Oldenburg in the field of speech dereverberation and noise reduction. She joined Idiap Research Institute in December 2017, where she now leads the Signal Processing for Communication Group.
