Dareen Alharthi | Portfolio

I am a PhD student at Carnegie Mellon University's Language Technologies Institute, advised by Professor Bhiksha Raj in the Machine Learning for Signal Processing (MLSP) Lab, where I also earned my Master's in Language Technologies. Before CMU, I received my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from IMSIU University, where I worked with Professor Areeb Alowisheq. My research focuses on voice editing and speech generative models.
