Portrait of Wenze Ren

Ph.D. Student · EECS · National Taiwan University

Wenze Ren 任文泽

I’m a second-year Ph.D. student at National Taiwan University, co-advised by Prof. Hung-yi Lee at the Speech Processing & Machine Learning Lab, NTU, and Prof. Yu Tsao at the Bio-ASP Lab, Academia Sinica.

My research interests lie in speech and audio processing, with a focus on speech enhancement and speech quality assessment. My enhancement work spans single-channel, multi-channel, and multimodal settings, and I organized the first Real-World Audio-Visual Speech Enhancement Challenge at ISCSLP 2026. On the assessment side, I won 1st place in the AudioMOS Challenge 2025 Track 3.

I have also contributed to large audio-language models and benchmarks, including Dynamic-SUPERB Phase-2, DeSTA2, and Game-Time.

I am currently working on speech representations for large audio models, neural audio codecs, and LM-based front-end speech processing.
