 BRIEF BIOGRAPHY
Masato Akagi received his B.E. from Nagoya Institute of Technology in 1979,
and his M.E. and Ph.D. Eng. from the Tokyo Institute of Technology in 1981
and 1984. He joined the Electrical Communication Laboratories of Nippon
Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT) in 1984. From 1986 to 1990, he
worked at the ATR Auditory and Visual Perception Research Laboratories.
Since 1992 he has been on the faculty of the School of Information Science
of JAIST and is now a full professor. His research interests include speech
perception, the modeling of speech perception mechanisms in human beings,
and the signal processing of speech. He is a member of the Institute of
Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers (IEICE) of Japan,
the ASJ, the IEEE, the Acoustical Society of America (ASA), and the International
Speech Communication Association (ISCA). Dr. Akagi received the IEICE Excellent
Paper Award from the IEICE in 1987, the Best Paper Award from the Research
Institute of Signal Processing in 2009, and the Sato Prize for Outstanding
Papers from the ASJ in 1998, 2005, 2010 and 2011.
