I am a Senior Research Scientist at Google DeepMind on the Magenta Team, where my research centers on making AI systems that can listen to, understand, and generate musical audio with the express goal of making tools that can better assist artists. A musician myself, I believe in engaging deeply with artists to ensure my research is shaped by their needs. To that end, I have published numerous award-winning papers and delivered keynotes in top-tier signal processing and machine learning conferences including NeurIPS, ICLR, AAAI, ICASSP, and ISMIR I finished my PhD in Computer Science working under Bryan Pardo in the Interactive Audio Lab at Northwestern University. During my PhD, I spent two years as a Student Researcher with Magenta and prior to that, I spent a year and half as Student Researcher at MERL on the Speech and Audio Team. I live in Chicago with my wife, dog, and acoustic guitar.
