Anup Singh

I am currently a Ph.D. student in the Department of Electronics and Information Systems at Ghent University, where I am a member of the Speech Group at IDLab. I am advised by Prof. Kris Demuynck and Prof. Vipul Arora. As part of my PhD, I also spent time as a long-term research visitor at MADHAV Lab, IIT Kanpur.

My research focuses on self-supervised learning for speech and audio processing, with an emphasis on robust and efficient audio indexing and retrieval. More recently, I have been exploring speech tokenization, with the aim of contributing to emerging directions such as textless NLP and speech-LLMs.

I hold a BS–MS dual degree in Mathematics from the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER-Kolkata). During my undergraduate studies, I worked on various machine-learning-oriented projects, which shaped my interest in applied machine learning.

Outside of work, I enjoy learning about geopolitics, reading, and playing sports (mostly lawn-tennis these days!)
