Masato Akagi received the B.E. degree in electronic engineering from Nagoya Institute
of Technology in 1979, and the M.E. and the Ph.D. Eng. degrees in computer
science from Tokyo Institute of Technology in 1981 and 1984. In 1984, he
joined the Electrical Communication Laboratory, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone
Corporation (NTT). From 1986 to 1990, he worked at the ATR Auditory and
Visual Perception Research Laboratories. Since 1992, he has been with the
School of Information Science, JAIST, where he is currently a professor.
His research interests include speech perception mechanisms of human beings,
and speech signal processing. Dr. Akagi received the IEICE Excellent Paper
Award from the Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication
Engineers (IEICE) in 1987, the Sato Prize for Outstanding Paper from the
Acoustical Society of Japan (ASJ) in 1998 and 2005, and the Best Paper
Award from the Research Institute of Signal Processing in 2009. He is currently
