Bio
I am a PhD researcher at the Center for Digital Music (C4DM), Queen Mary University of London, supervised by Prof. Simon Dixon. I am grateful to be mentored by Prof. Eran Egozy. Prior to joining C4DM, I was a Senior Research Assistant at Singapore University of Technology and Design, under the supervision of Prof. Dorien Herremans and Prof. Ernest Chong. My research is driven by my passion about technology, sound and music. My current research is centered around AI for music. I am the first author (or co-first-author) of Mustango, Moonbeam and GAPS.
