I started my PhD research in music similarity and organization as part of OMRAS2 in January 2007. I am currently working in the Goldsmiths Digital Studios research group, under the supervision of Dr. Micheal Casey and Dr. Christophe Rhodes.

Research Interests

  • bridging the semantic gap between social networks and content based retrieval systems
  • Music recommenders
  • Metadata informed dynamics effects processing
  • Playlist generation/playback and content aware mixing (autoDJ)
  • Song phrase segmentation
  • Mixed Playlist (think DJ set, pod cast, etc.) segmentation (unmixing)
