Research position: My work has been focused on the application of digital signal processing and machine learning techniques, including neural networks, to real-time sound synthesis. I used these techniques, to model the spectral behaviors of musical instruments: I have obtained very convincing results with wind and string instruments as well as with the singing voice. The related publication as well as some demos of this work are available on-line. I developed this techniques on SGI Workstation (UNIX) using Matlab and C. I am currently porting my work to the Macintosh by writing Max-MSP Externals in C using Code Warrior Pro.
