Academic Achievements
- Emphasizes open science, promoting open data, open software, and open access, while also being interested in exploiting results with open innovation strategies to promote the social and economic impact of their research.
Research Experience
- Since his PhD, he has been working in the field of music technology, focusing on the analysis, description, and synthesis of sound and music signals. The research he currently supervises at the MTG is focused on understanding sound and music signals by combining signal processing, machine learning, and semantic technologies. They work on data-driven methodologies, developing and using large data collections, as well as knowledge-driven approaches that require domain-specific knowledge. Within their publicly and privately funded projects, they address practical problems such as music exploration and recommendation, classification of sounds, and music performance analysis for educational purposes.
Education
- Obtained a PhD in Computer Music from Stanford University in 1989.
Background
