I'm finishing my Master's degree at the MIT Media Lab, in the Hyperinstruments group. I'm interested in music information retrieval, music perception, and visualization, all with a focus on identifying and predicting musical preferences.
The program is two years long; we spend about half of our time taking classes, and the other half doing research. I'll write a thesis during the latter part of my second year.
Please take a look at Visualizing Music and soundsieve, my main research projects.
Completed coursework:
- Fall 2007
- Signals, Systems, and Information for Media Technology
- Musical Aesthetics and Media Technology
- Spring 2007
- Sensor Systems for Interactive Environments. Final project: "Sleep Tracker"
- Neural Coding and Perception of Sound
