hello.

this is the webpage of austin waters. i'm a ph.d. student in the department of computer science(s) at the university of texas at austin. i work with Risto Miikkulainen in the neural nets research group.

my research is in computational models of human auditory perception -- an area sometimes called computational auditory scene analysis or machine hearing. my focus is on methods for sound source separation and, in particular, speech enhancement. in general, i am interested in problems in machine perception, statistical machine learning, and artificial intelligence.

for fall 2009, i am the teaching assistant for CS394N: neural networks.
