J. Keith McElveen received his BS and MS degrees in electrical and electronic engineering from Clemson University in the 1980s. From there, he served in the Cold War, deployed overseas followed by years in R&D, particularly involving audio research. In the closing stages of the Cold War, his involvement in a major war crimes investigation triggered his career-long focus on extracting voices from cocktail party babble and other noises.

Keith’s talk will be on his company’s recent advances in spatial hearing technologies and how they hope to apply them to enable hearing in noisy, crowded, reverberant environments for individuals with hearing loss as well as electronic devices.
