My new homepage. Everything else on this site is probably a few years outdated. I graduated from the Music, Mind and Machine Group at the MIT Media Lab with a Ph.D. in August 2003. I was Senior Research Scientist at Nellymoser, Inc. until August 2005. I am now an Assistant Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Drexel University. My dissertation research, Singing Voice Analysis/Synthesis, used a signal model of the human singing voice to investigate aspects of singer identity and voice quality. My thesis page gives a brief summary of my research, and contains download links to my thesis and sound examples. In addition to my thesis topic, I have research interests in machine listening, music information retrieval, audio signal processing, and speech and audio compression. As a graduate student, I was a contributing delegate to Subcommittee 29, Working Group 11 of the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), better known as MPEG. My interest in singing research stems from my experience as a singer. My training has been primarily classical, but I've performed many other types of repertoire as well. I was a member of the Stanford Fleet Street Singers, and have performed in shows at American Musical Theater of San Jose and SpeakEasy Stage Company. I'm currently a member of the Tanglewood Festival Chorus. |
