Welcome to Elie Laurent Benaroya web site

Portrait

As a passionate engineer and an expert in audio and speech signal processing, I have a lot of experience in sound source and speech processing.
A pioneer in the application of machine learning methods (NMF) to sound source separation, I am also co-founder of the startup Audionamix (2003).
Since 2008, I have collaborated with the most prestigious audio signal processing labs in France, such as Télécom ParisTech, IRCAM and IRISA, notably to apply my skills to the fields of robotics, music, spatialized audio, voice identity conversion and speech synthesis (TTS, voice cloning, VC).
From September 2021 to April 2022, I worked at the startup Elsa (English Language Speech Assistant) as a Speech Scientist.
