Ludovic Pirard joined Imperial College London in 2024 as a PhD student taking part in the
Marie Sklodowska-Curie Doctoral Network ‘Cochlear Implants and Spatial Hearing:
Enabling access to the next dimension of hearing’. Ludovic worked at Multitel Belgium, a
research center specialised in signal processing, artificial intelligence, embedded
systems and optical fiber, where he contributed to high-resolution beamforming
developments. Prior to this, he completed a MSc in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Smart
Communication at the University of Mons (UMons) in Belgium where his master's thesis
focused on personalised HRTF using a Convolutional Neural Network. Ludovic is
currently working on enhancing photogrammetry-reconstructed head meshes for
individual HRTF synthesis.
