Science And Society

Music and engineering, mathematical models of music, Expression Synthesis Project. Dr. Elaine Chew's research research includes collaborative projects in music information retrieval, distributed immersive performance, and musical expression synthesis. She also developed a course on computational methods for music perception and cognition. In 2004, Dr. Chew was honored with an NSF Career award for her proposal on performer-centered approaches to computer-assisted music making, in which she stated that her purpose was to establish engineering music research as a core academic discipline and to promote the use of computational research in music processing by humans as a basis for creating and improving human-computer interaction in computer music systems.
