Biography

Dr. Farouk Yahaya’s research interests include matrix factorization, glottal inverse filtering, source separation, low-rank approximations, and sensor calibration.

He received both his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees, in Communications and Network Security and Information Science respectively in 2010 and 2014 from the University for Information Science and Technology “St. Paul the Apostle. He later obtained his Phd in Signal Processing from the Université du Littoral Côte d’Opale, Calais, France in September 2021.

He is currently affiliated with the University of Bordeaux as a postdoctoral research associate, where he conducts his research at the Research Center INRIA Bordeaux - South West.
