Cheng-Han Chiang (姜成翰)

PhD student at National Taiwan University
Machine Learning and Speech Processing Lab

Hi! I am a fourth-year PhD student at National Taiwan University (NTU) in Taipei, Taiwan. I am a member of Speech Processing and Machine Learning (SPML) Lab. I am advised by Prof. Hung-yi Lee.

My research interests focus on NLP (automatic evaluation using LLMs, a.k.a LLM-as-a-Judge) and reasoning of spoken language models (SLMs). I am actively looking for job opportunities in the field of NLP and speech processing starting from 2026.
