Academic Achievements
- Authored the foundational paper 'Understanding OMR'.
- Created and released the MUSCIMA++ dataset, widely used in OMR research.
- Recent work focuses on practical recognition of pianoform notation and domain adaptation techniques like data synthesis for manuscript recognition.
- Pioneering digital analysis of Gregorian Chant, exploring appropriate music theories for its eight modes and using bioinformatics methods to trace melodic development.
- Co-authored an ISMIR 2025 paper on a computational model of saxophone playing difficulty.
- Produced a technical report for the GAUK1444217 project.
