Haohe Liu is a research scientist with seven years of experience specializing in generative audio and speech restoration, currently based in Redmond and working at Meta. He combines academic rigor from a PhD program at the University of Surrey with hands-on industry experience including internships at Microsoft and ByteDance and a recent Meta research stint in Paris. Haohe is an active open-source contributor—leading engineering work on projects like AudioLDM (text-to-audio generation) and VoiceFixer (speech restoration)—where he implemented new generator architectures, sampling pipelines, and audio-processing improvements. His skill set bridges deep learning research and production-ready model engineering, with a track record of shipping practical improvements to vocoders and generation pipelines. Colleagues can expect a scientist who moves quickly from novel models to usable code, often surfacing non-obvious trade-offs between synthesis quality and pipeline efficiency.
