Congratulations to You (Neil) Zhang, an electrical and computer engineering PhD student who won a Best Student Paper Award at IEEE WASPAA 2025! His research focused on head-related transfer functions, which describe how sound is changed by the ear, head, and torso of a listener as it travels from the sound source to ear canals.

Neil is advised by Professor Zhiyao Duan and the paper was a collaboration with Meta Reality Labs Research and University of Maryland College Park. Neil reflected on his award -winning project in a blog post on LinkedIn.
