Maja Taseska

Maja Taseska is a signal-processing researcher in the Applied Sciences Group at Microsoft.  She works on algorithms for audio signal-processing front ends, from their conception and prototyping to their implementation for different devices.  She is passionate about tackling different challenges to bring state-of-the art DSP algorithms to modern devices.

She has worked on audio signal processing since 2009, first as a student-researcher at the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits in Erlangen-Germany, and later as a Ph.D. candidate at the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg.  She received her Ph.D. degree in 2017, focusing on speech enhancement using microphone arrays.  From 2018 to 2019 she was a post-doctoral fellow at K.U. Leuven in Belgium working on data-driven signal processing and teaching a course on signals and systems in the Electrical Engineering Department.  Before joining Microsoft, she also worked on research projects related to medical signal processing and radar.
