Dr Sebastian Ewert

Research

Research Interests:

I am a researcher in the fields of Semantic Audio Analysis, Machine Listening
and Informed Signal Processing. That means that my PhD students and I together
develop novel methods integrating concepts from machine learning,
signal processing, statistical modelling, numerical optimization and many
other fields. We apply our methods to audio and music data - see here a few
example applications.

My background is in Computer Science and Mathematics. I did a PhD in Computer
Science at the University of Bonn, Germany, which was supervised at the
Max-Planck-Institute for Informatics, Saarbrücken, Germany. Currently, I am a
lecturer in signal processing in the School of Electronic Engineering and
Computer Science at Queen Mary University of London, conducting research
within the Centre For Digital Music (C4DM) in the programme <i>Fusing Audio
And Semantic Technologies</i> (FAST). Further, I am one of the academic
leaders of the Machine Listening Lab at QMUL.
