Jitong Chen
Research Manager at ByteDance
jitongc@gmail.com

I am a research manager at ByteDance. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from The Ohio State University in 2017. I worked with Professor DeLiang Wang in Perception and Neurodynamics Laboratory. My PhD research focused on data-driven speech separation in adverse environments. I am currently interested in music understanding/generation, music creation tools, and multimodal foundation models.
