Elevoc Co-Founder DeLiang Wang Ranked Among Top 0.05% of Global Scholars

Elevoc Technology announced in a press release that its co-founder, Professor DeLiang Wang, has been ranked in the top 0.05 percent of scholars worldwide in the 2025 ScholarGPS Highly Ranked Scholars list. The recognition follows his receipt of the 2025 IEEE Neural Networks Pioneer Award and his inclusion in the 2025 World's Top 2% Scientists list compiled by Stanford University and Elsevier.

Professor Wang serves as a Presidential Chair Professor at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen, and is an elected Fellow of the IEEE, ISCA, and AAIA. His research on oscillatory correlation theory and speech separation established key foundations for machine hearing. Wang is credited with introducing deep learning to speech separation, helping address the long-standing "Cocktail Party Problem" of isolating voices in noisy environments.

In 2017, Wang co-founded Elevoc, which achieved the first commercial implementation of AI-based noise reduction the following year. Elevoc's speech separation technology is now integrated into over one billion devices, including smartphones, earphones, and vehicles from brands such as Lenovo, Xiaomi, OPPO, and Li Auto. The company continues to apply deep learning and Computational Auditory Scene Analysis to enhance voice interaction across consumer and automotive sectors.
