Hi! I am Jiawei Du, a Ph.D. student in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Georgia Tech, advised by Dr. Larry Heck. My research interests lie in speech and audio processing, particularly audio large language models for real-time conversational and multi-party speech understanding.

Before joining Georgia Tech, I was a Research Assistant in the Graduate Institute of Networking and Multimedia at National Taiwan University, supervised by Dr. Hung-Yi Lee. I received my M.S. degree in Computer Science and Information Engineering from National Taiwan University, where I was advised by Dr. Jyh-Shing Roger Jang and worked closely with Dr. Hung-Yi Lee on audio coding and anti-spoofing. During my graduate studies, I was a Research Intern at Samsung Research SRC-B, focusing on streaming and lightweight neural audio codecs. Prior to that, I earned my B.S. degree (ranked 1st/79) in Information and Telecommunications Engineering (now Electrical Engineering) from Ming Chuan University, supervised by Dr. Shu-Yin Chiang. I also completed an exchange program in Computer Science and Engineering at Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
