I am interested in modeling human cognition and creativity -- specifically, my
background is in music cognition. Before joining Google in 2012, I completed a Ph.D.
in computer science and cognitive science at Indiana University, where I used Douglas
Hofstadter's ideas on analogy-making to develop a new computer model of music
listening. I have also done research in the field of music informatics. In a
nutshell, I'm interested in things such as machine perception, machine hearing, and
machine creativity.
