Join THUHCSI | 加入实验室

Human-Computer Speech Interaction Lab at Tsinghua University (THUHCSI) welcomes highly motivated students to join our research team.

Our lab conducts cutting-edge research in intelligent speech interaction and multimodal AI, including:

• Speech synthesis and speech generation (语音合成与语音生成)
• Speech recognition and spoken language understanding (语音识别与口语语言理解)
• Audio, music and singing voice generation (音乐与歌声生成)
• Digital human and audio-driven animation (数字人与语音驱动动画)
• Multimodal interaction and affective computing (多模态交互与情感计算)
• Audio security, anti-spoofing and deepfake detection (音频安全与深度伪造检测)

Our research results have been published in leading conferences and journals such as AAAI, NeurIPS, ICLR, CVPR, IJCAI, ICASSP, INTERSPEECH, and IEEE/ACM TASLP. The lab also maintains close collaborations with both academia and industry.

We welcome undergraduate, master’s, and PhD students who are passionate about AI research and interested in speech, audio, and multimodal technologies.
