Introduction

I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Center for Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (CAIDAS), University of Würzburg, Germany. I am affiliated with both the Computational Humanities (CH) group led by Prof. Christof Weiß and the Natural Language Processing (WüNLP) group led by Prof. Dr. Goran Glavaš.

My research lies at the intersection of AI and music, with a focus on building AI systems for music understanding across modalities and diverse musical traditions, genres, and instruments. As an active learner of piano performance, I am particularly interested in how advances in music understanding can support music learning and performance.

Over the past years, my primary research focus has been automatic music transcription. More recently, I have been exploring multimodal learning and large-scale pretraining approaches for music understanding tasks, including music transcription, beat tracking, and performance analysis.

I completed my PhD at the UKRI Centre for Doctoral Training in AI and Music (AIM CDT) at Centre for Digital Music (C4DM), Queen Mary University of London (QMUL), supervised by Dr. Emmanouil Benetos, Dr. Veronica Morfi, and Prof. Simon Dixon.

Beyond research, I am one of the organizers of the WIMIR Mentoring Programme, an initiative supporting students from underrepresented groups in the ISMIR community by connecting junior researchers with senior mentors.
