Research Interests

In addition to being co-director of the Northwestern University Center for Human Computer Interaction + Design, I head the Interactive Audio Lab. We develop new methods in Generative Modeling, Signal Processing and Human Computer Interaction to make new tools for understanding, creating, and manipulating sound. Ongoing research in the lab is applied to generation of music and speech, audio scene labeling, audio source separation, inclusive interfaces, new audio production tools, and machine audition models.
