I am a master student at College of Computer Science and Technology, Zhejiang University, majoring in Computer Science.

Currently I work on the Audio Research Team at Zhejiang University, under the supervision of Prof. Zhou Zhao. Previously I graduated from Turing Class, a program established by Chu Kochen Honors College, with a bachelor’s degree in Artificial Intelligence.

My research interests primarily focus on Multi-Modal Generative AI, specifically in Speech, Spatial Audio, and Singing. I have published papers at top international AI conference, including NeurIPS, ACL, ACM-MM and EMNLP. Currently, I am working on Spatial Audio Generation and Immersive Audio Synthesis.

I am actively looking for academic collaboration, feel free to contact me via email at panch@zju.edu.cn.
