About me:
I am a music technology researcher, audio expert, technical writer, teacher and musician. I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Music at the University of California San Diego, as well as Master’s degrees in Music Technology at New York University and Computer Science at the University of Washington.
As a researcher, I am interested in audio synthesis algorithms, algorthims for music composition using databases of sound, electroacoustic music preservation, and spatial audio techniques for music. I work at the intersection of technical research and creativity by incorporating my research methods into musical compositions and reusable code for computer musicians.
I work at MathWorks* as a Senior Engineering Technical Writer, where I create documentation, examples and tutorials for the Audio Toolbox for MATLAB. Prior to joining MathWorks, I worked in engineering positions at Bose, Microsoft Research, Newfangled Audio, Microsoft and Google in either full-time, contracted, or internship roles. I have also taught undergraduate music technology courses at UCSD and NYU. For more details, please see my CV.
