Music, Machine Learning, Interactive Systems

I am currently a scientist at Pandora working on methods and tools for Music Information Retrieval at scale. I received my Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Drexel University. My research interests span a wide scope of topics including audio signal processing, machine learning, and human computer interaction. I am also an avid percussionist and composer, having performed in and composed for various ensembles large and small. I’ve also studied floral design and making wheel thrown ceramics.

In the spring 2021 I started taking ceramics classes in NYC at the Manny Cantor Center on the Lower East Side and the 92Y on the Upper East Side. Since then my curiosity has grown into a pretty intense hobby and creative outlet!
