About Eduardo
I am a composer and Professor in Computer Music. I run the Interdisciplinary Centre for Computer Music Research (ICCMR).
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is shaping the future of many professions, and the creative industry is no exception.聽My research examines how to harness AI for creativity and educate future generations of AI-ready professionals.
To study for a doctorate under my supervision, please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss your interests.
I am an experienced PhD supervisor (Director of Studies). I have guided dozens of doctoral students to successful completion and have considerable experience with post-graduate external examinations.
My doctoral graduates have secured jobs all over the world, from Asia (e.g., Education University of Hong Kong) and North America (e.g., McGill University, Canada), to Europe (e.g., University of the Arts, Berlin), and in a wide range of companies such as Arm microprocessors, L-Acoustics and the Met Office.聽
I have been developing and composing music using AI since the 1980s. In 1995, I defended what is likely the first PhD thesis in the UK on developing AI for music at the University of Edinburgh. I championed the application of neo-Darwinian evolutionary algorithms to model the origins of music and the development of bio-inspired computational models for musical creativity.聽
Recently, I made the headlines of as a pioneer in leveraging AI with Quantum Computing for music.
Within the last decade or so I have raised over 拢5M worth of research grants to develop my ambition to put the 麻豆传媒 at the forefront of Digital Health and Music Technology. Today, we聽are internationally recognised for spearheading the field of and AI applications to support people living with dementia.
Fun facts: I have composed a number of symphonies and an opera and have had the privilege to share the stage with the BBC Concert Orchestra, BBC Singers, London Sinfonietta, Jarvis Cocker, American beatboxer Butterscotch, and a few other great artists. Furthermore, I am an and I was the first classical music composer ever to give a concert in the Metaverse.
