CV
I am a currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Computational Acoustic Modeling Laboratory (CAML) at McGill University in Montreal, Canada. I recently completed my Ph.D. at Stanford’s Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA). I also hold an M.A. in Music, Science, and Technology from Stanford, as well as a B.Sci. in Physics and B.Mus. in Jazz from McGill University.
I am interested in the fields of musical acoustics, vibration and acoustic measurement, audio signal processing, and physical modeling synthesis, among other areas. As a lifelong guitarist, his research tends to focus on anything that involves guitars or audio effects often used with guitars. He is particularly interested in physical modeling synthesis and its applications to luthiery. These interests, combined with a passion for physical design and making have recently led me down a path of luthiery, which in turn helps guide his research in musical instrument acoustics, measurement, and modeling.
I am very excited to announce that in January 2025, I will join MIT as an Assistant Professor of Music Technology, holding a shared appointment between Music & Theater Arts and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. I will be part of the new and growing Music Technology and Computation graduate program. I am hoping to grow a diverse research group with students coming from varied backgrounds including electrical, mechanical, and materials engineering, physics, and music. If you are excited about the areas of vibration and acoustic measurement, signal processing, physical modeling, synthesis, numerical modeling, and manufacturing and design as applied to musical instruments and audio effects, consider applying to MIT EECS by December 1, 2024 to work with me. In the application, you can select my name in the "potential research advisor" dropdown menu.
In my spare time, I enjoy playing guitar and upright bass, building guitars, hiking, golfing, sailing, and petting my cat Daisy.
