His research activities center around signal processing for acoustical and biomedical applications, more specifically microphone array processing, speech enhancement, active noise control, acoustic sensor networks and hearing aid processing.
Prof. Doclo received several best paper awards (International Workshop on Acoustic Echo and Noise Control 2001, EURASIP Signal Processing 2003, IEEE Signal Processing Society 2008, VDE Information Technology Society 2019). He was member of the IEEE Signal Processing Society Technical Committee on Audio and Acoustic Signal Processing (2008-2013, 2017-2022) and the EURASIP Technical Area Committee on Acoustic, Speech and Music Signal Processing (2016-2021) and is member of the EAA Technical Committee on Audio Signal Processing. Prof. Doclo was and is involved in several large-scale national and European research projects (ITN DREAMS, ETN SOUNDS, Cluster of Excellence Hearing4all, CRC Hearing Acoustics). He was Technical Program Chair of the IEEE Workshop on Applications of Signal Processing to Audio and Acoustics (WASPAA) in 2013 and the International Workshop on Acoustic Signal Enhancement (IWAENC) in 2022, and was chair of the ITG Conference on Speech Communication in 2018. In addition, he serves as Senior Area Editor for IEEE/ACM Transactions on Audio, Speech and Language Processing, was associate editor for IEEE/ACM Transactions on Audio, Speech and Language Processing and EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing and served as guest editor for several special issues (IEEE Signal Processing Magazine, Elsevier Signal Processing).
