Biography
Saeed was born in Iran. He gained a 1st class honours degree
in electrical and electronic engineering from Newcastle University
and a PhD in digital signal processing from Cambridge University.
His PhD and postdoctoral research work at Cambridge lead to
the development of CEDAR one of the first commercial digital
signal processing system for restoration of degraded archived
audio signals. Saeed was a British Telecom lecturer at the
University of East Anglia in Norwich between 1988-1995 and
then a Reader at the Queen's University of Belfast.
Saeed's research interests in communication signal processing include Bayesian noise reduction and channel identification, speech enhancement speech recognition, modelling and synthesis of accents, voice morphing, and biomedical signal processing.
