My research is about music AI, sound processing for music, and
real-time Music Information Retrieval (MIR) on small resource-constrained devices.
I am interested in both algorithmic and AI approaches to Music processing that can support artistic expression through music, and end up in the hands of musicians.
Some of the cool projects I have worked on recently are:
For my PhD I focused on smart-musical instrument, which are musical instruments can be designed to recognize certain high-level traits or properties from a music signal, such as the expressive techniques used or the mood of the music.
