👋 About me

Hi there! I am Weidong, a first-year PhD student at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, advised by Prof. Xixin Wu and Prof. Helen Meng.
My primary research interests are in speech signal processing and mainly focus on:
- Speech Synthesis: Expressive Speech Generation and Conversational TTS.
- Emotion: Speech Emotion Recognition and Multimodal Sentiment Analysis.
