Anil Nagathil is a Senior Research Scientist at the Institute of Communication Acoustics (Ruhr University Bochum), currently on leave while holding a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Global Fellowship at McMaster University (2025-2027). He holds a Dr.-Ing. degree from RUB (2016) following Dipl.-Ing. (2009), with prior academic experience at University of Birmingham (UK).
- Education: Dr.-Ing. (2016) and Dipl.-Ing. (2009) in Electrical Engineering, RUB
- Professional roles: Postdoc at RUB (2016-2023), Senior Research Scientist (2023-present), Visiting Scholar at McMaster University (2025-2027)
His research focuses on statistical and machine learning-based speech/audio signal processing, with specific interests in auditory modeling, neural modeling, and EEG analysis for hearing instrument applications. Recent work includes WaveNet-based cochlear modeling, machine learning for spectral complexity reduction, and interactive music preprocessing for cochlear implant users.
Publications span deep neural network approximation, music signal enhancement, and acoustic signal classification with 15+ peer-reviewed contributions since 2007. Current projects include neural network modeling of auditory transduction and individualized music remixing for hearing-impaired listeners.
