Research Projects
I do research in human-centered music information retrieval-- combining music, machine learning, and cognition. For my PhD, I am advised by Dr. Brian McFee and Dr. Pablo Ripollés. I have collaborated with researchers at NYU, Stanford, and UCLA, and audio technology companies including Univeral Audio, Spotify, Smule, and Shazam. I have a GitHub page. I have several research publications and a Google Scholar profile.
Total Variation in Vocals Over Time
We conduct an exploratory study of 43,153 vocal tracks of popular songs spanning nearly a century, and report trends in total variation over time and between genres.
HitPredict: Using Spotify Data to Predict Billboard Hits
We are able to predict the Billboard success of a song with ~75% accuracy using several machine learning algorithms.
Music Visualizer
A music visualizer I built for my Music, Computing, and Design course with Ge Wang at Stanford.
Instrument Design for a Laptop Opera
I worked with composer Anne Hege and a subset of the Stanford Laptop Orchestra on The Furies: A new LaptOpera.
Vocal Expression
My ISMIR 2020 late-breaking demo paper: An Evaluation Tool for Subjective Evaluation of Amateur Vocal Performances of “Amazing Grace.”
Cochlear Implant Listening
Familiarity, quality and preference in Cochlear Implant Listening.
