Biographie
Miranda Krekovic received both her B.Sc. in Computing, information processing and multimedia systems and M.Sc. in Information and communication technology from Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing, University of Zagreb, in 2012 and 2014, respectively. As an intern at Summer@EPFL 2014, she joined the Audiovisual Communications Laboratory (LCAV) at EPFL Lausanne, Switzerland. Currently she is a Ph.D. candidate at LCAV under the supervision of Prof. Martin Vetterli.
Her present research mainly addresses a study of room acoustics - inference of a room geometry from acoustic impulse responses, solving the source localization and motion tracking problems, and their usage in a sound based indoor mapping and navigation.
In fall 2016, she did her research internship at Google Mountain View with Sound Understanding team, where she worked on the blind source separation for simultaneous speech. However, as her research interest grows beyond sound and acoustics, with a few colleagues from LCAV she started a research group. They address problems in localization, microphone array calibration and seemingly different, but mathematically very related - ranking and competition design.
Apart from her PhD work, her big passion is to promote computer science and computational thinking to children and teenagers. More particularly, she wants to motivate girls at the early age to embrace technologies and a possibility of having a career in STEM fields. As a co-founder of GirlsCoding.org, she organizes hands-on workshops for girls, gives talks to parents and children on related topics, and creates a content for programming courses in private schools.
