Biography

Dr. Shuai Wang is an Associate Professor, Distinguished Researcher, and Ph.D. Supervisor at Nanjing University, with a joint appointment at Hetao College. He specializes in intelligent audio signal processing across multimodal acoustic signals (speech, audio events, music). He holds a Ph.D. from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and formerly served as Senior Researcher at Tencent Photon Studio. With 40+ publications as first/corresponding author in premier venues (ICASSP, Interspeech) and 10+ patents, Dr. Wang has won championships at VoxSRC 2019 and DIHARD 2019, plus Best Paper awards at ISCSLP 2024. His open-source project WeSpeaker achieves 10M+ monthly downloads on HuggingFace, widely adopted in academia and industry. Research collaborations and exceptional students are welcome in speech processing, multimodal AI, and large models.
