I'm a postdoctoral researcher in the Music Processing group of Prof. Meinard Mueller. I have completed my PhD at Tel Aviv university, in the group of Prof. Amit Bermano. My main research interests are music synthesis using diffusion models, and automatic music transcription. In particular, I investigate how music analysis and synthesis can mutually benefit each other. Other than that, I love singing in different languages.
Topics
- Multi-instrument automatic music transcription
- Diffusion-based music synthesis
- Human voice conversion
