You will be joining a large, established, 5-year EPSRC project that is seek= ing to develop transformative approaches to hearing aid speech processing t= hrough the organisation of a series of open challenges (the 'Clarity Challe= nges'). The project is running across the Universities of Sheffield, Cardif= f, Nottingham and Salford, with industrial support from Amazon and the Hear= ing Industry Research Consortium. It provides excellent opportunities for c= ollaboration both in the UK and internationally.
