I am a Ph.D. Candidate at Music Technology Group of the University of Pompeu Fabra. My work is focused on performance-oriented real-time drum generation.

I have a bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of British Columbia. In the last year of my undergraduate studies, I focused my work on Acoustics, and subsequently, worked as an Acoustic Engineer for a number of years.

In 2017, I went back to school to study a masters in music technology at the MTG. During my master’s degree, I was fortunate to work on generative music under the supervision of Dr. Sergi Jordà. Having immensely enjoyed this experience, I have been continuing my studies in this field as a Ph.D. Candidate.
