Short bio
Jérôme Urbain received the Master degree in Electrical Engineering from
FPMs in 2006. During his studies, he was involved in a Research project
at
UPC in Barcelona, aiming at finding prominent words in speech. He
did his Master thesis work at Lehigh University (Pennsylvania, USA) in the sleep processing field and in particular about the discrimination
between sleep and wake using actigraphy. In september 2006 he joined the Circuit Theory and Signal Processing Lab of FPMs, which is now part of the
University of Mons. He first worked on sleep stages classification in the framework of the
DREAMS project. In Januray 2007, he moved to the
CALLAS project.
The aims of the project are to develop affective new media, with a focus on arts and entertainement. Within the CALLAS project, Jérôme is principally involved
in the integration of a Speech recognition component and is doing research on acoustic laughter processing (classification, recognition, copy-synthesis), which
is the subject of the PhD he is carrying out.
