Research
Our research is focused on adaptive signal processing with special focus on real-time application in speech communication in adverse environments, medical applications, and underwater systems.
Since 2010 the DSS group is developing KiRAT, an acronym that stands for Kiel Real-Time Application Toolkit. First, it was made for audio and speech processing. Meanwhile, it also supports medical und underwater applications.
Team
The "Digital Signal Processing and System Theory" (DSS) team welcomes you on our homepage. Currently we consist of five professors or lecturers (Jan Abshagen, Frank Ehlers, Ulrich Heute, Klaus Linhard, and Gerhard Schmidt), two secretaries (Petra Usinger, Kathrin Büsse), one system administrator (Asvet Jasari), about fifteen internal and external PhD students, as well as several master and bachelor students. More details about us can be found in our team section.

In the first week of September, we were delighted to host Dr. Isabel Schiller, an early-career researcher from RWTH Aachen University's Work and Engineering Psychology Lab. Isabel is a Clinical Linguist, holds a PhD in Psychology, and is passionate for auditory cognition and voice research. Together, we've embarked on a collaborative endeavor centered around auditory feedback modulation. Our goal is to develop and assess a real-time voice modification system, designed to explore vocal motor control in both healthy speakers and those with voice disorders. As we joined forces this week, we laid the groundwork for the technical implementation of our project and prepared the upcoming launch of our first experiment at RWTH Aachen University. Interdisciplinary collaborations like this one highlight the importance of merging knowledge from different domains, not only for advancing cutting-edge research but also for fostering an enjoyable and enriching experience.
