Klaus Brümann studied Engineering Physics at the University of Oldenburg. 
He obtained his B.Eng. degree in 2019 and his M.Sc. degree in 2021, having specialized in acoustics. 
In August 2021 he began pursuing a PhD degree at the Signal Processing Group of the University of Oldenburg.

• Speech source and microphone localization (both position and direction-of-arrival estimation)
• Euclidean distance matrix- and matrix rank-based techniques
• Single- and multi-channel speech enhancement
