My name is Liang-Yuan “Leo” Wu 吳兩原. I am now a research assistant working with Prof. Dhruv “DJ” Jain and part of the Soundability Lab at the AI Laboratory, University of Michigan CSE. I recently graduated with a Master’s Degree in Computer Science & Engineering from the University of Michigan.
My research lies at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), where I apply human-centered principles to enhance audio AI for diverse user needs, with a particular emphasis on accessibility for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing (DHH) individuals. Currently, I focus on two directions: (1) adapting large multimodal models to provide holistic and customizable audio scene understanding (2) improved speech recognition in healthcare.
I am now applying for a CS PhD starting in Fall 2025 and am excited to connect with and learn from professors and researchers who share similar interests!
