Summary
Jean-louis Durrieu is a DSP software engineer with 15 years of experience applying statistical signal processing and production-ready algorithms to audio — especially music and speech — currently at Phonak in Switzerland. He holds an engineer degree and a PhD from Télécom ParisTech and has a strong research background in source separation, melody extraction and audio modelling from roles at EPFL and Tsinghua. His work bridges research and product: developing NMF/GMM/HMM-based methods, building Python/NumPy and C/Matlab prototypes, and teaching signal and image processing at the university level. He has authored multiple journal and conference papers and led applied projects such as audio-phonological measures for language learning and archival source separation for the Montreux Jazz Festival. Comfortable in multilingual environments (French native, fluent English, advanced Chinese), he combines mathematical rigor with practical implementation skills to move experimental audio algorithms into production. An underappreciated strength is his track record of translating complex statistical models into efficient, testable code used in real-world audio systems.
