Biography:

Ladan Zamaninezhad received the Master of Science degree in Electrical Engineering with emphasis on Signal Processing in 2013 from Blekinge Institute of Technology, Karlskrona, Sweden. From 2012 to 2013, she was a visiting researcher in university of Erlangen, Erlangen, Germany where she worked on geometry estimation of acoustic enclosure as her master thesis. In October 2013, she started her Ph.D in University of Oldenburg, Germany. Her PhD thesis is focused on model-based prediction and enhancement of speech perception in cochlear implant listeners. She is interested in applications of signal processing and automatic speech recognition in hearing devices.
