Computer Science 📟

I am interested in the intersection of computer science and music, especially in computational music generation.

• Work:
  • 🔭 I interned as music engineer/programmer at Soundraw, an amazing AI music generation startup full of amazing workers! Check out their service here: https://soundraw.io/
  • 📝 I had my first literature review, "Exploring AI Music Generation: A Review of Deep Learning Algorithms and Datasets for Undergraduate Researchers", in HCII 2023, Part II, CCIS 1958! Check out my work here: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-49215-0_13
  • 📝 I am working on my second literature review focusing more on the general history and trends of computational music generation, so I can explore understudied potentials in combining different methods.
  • 🌱 My current main project is genetic algorithm-based music generation using LLM as evaluation agent :)
• Interests: intelligent systems (AI, ML, DL); algorithms (GA); music theory

Music 🎼

I am a piano player and a singer. I study music theory as well 😃

• 🎹 I am a pianist in the Swarthmore Jazz Ensemble.
• 🔈 I love a cappella singing; I sing in the Oxford Commas and Swarthmore Sixteen Feet (where I am the Music Director).
• 🎵 I like jazz, bossa nova, tango, pop, and lo-fi music! My favorite pieces are Lucky Southern by Keith Jarett, Nica's Dream by Horace Silver, and Under A Smiling Moon by Peter Sandberg :)
