Academic Background
Nicki Holighaus studied mathematics and theoretical computer sciences at Justus–Liebig–University, Gießen, Germany. He graduated in 2010. After three years of doctoral studies at the University of Vienna, Austria, where he worked as a research assistant at the Numerical Harmonic Analysis Group (NuHAG), he successfully defended his PhD thesis "Theory and implementation of adaptive time-frequency transforms” in October 2013.
Since August 2012 he is part of the Acoustic Research Institute's workgroup "Mathematics and Signal Processing in Acoustics", where he works on theoretical and applied aspects of frames and adapted time-frequency representations.
Current Research
His research focuses on advanced time-frequency methods in signal processing, including time-frequency analysis, the mathematical theory and design of adaptive and adapted time-frequency representations, time-frequency processing in acoustics and the use of time-frequency representations in machine learning for acoustics.
Current research projects: MERLIN
Current topics:
- Theory and application of warped time-frequency representations
- Function spaces and discretization for structured continuous frames
- Structure of time-frequency phase
- Signal processing with time-frequency phase
