CV

I recently joined MIT as an Assistant Professor of Music Technology with a shared appointment between Music & Theater Arts and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (Electrical Engineering). I am very excited to help build the growing Music Technology group and start my research lab at the Research Research Laboratory of Electronics (RLE). Previously, I was 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 starting to build my research group with students and researchers 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, 2025 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 cats Daisy and Hubert.
