INFORMATICS PhD FOCUS AREA(s):
• Art and Cultural Informatics

I’m interested in AI music evaluation, especially in developing rigorous ways to assess the quality, aesthetic value, and reliability of AI-generated music. My current research focuses on understanding how computational evaluation aligns with human judgment and on building more robust frameworks for evaluating generative music systems. More broadly, I’m interested in questions around human-centered AI evaluation that can extend beyond music to other creative and perceptual domains.
