Short CV

Richard Vogl's research is situated at the intersection of music and artificial intelligence. He holds a PhD and masters degree in computer science with focus on machine learning, both from Johannes Kepler University (JKU), Linz. In the recent past he worked as a researcher at the Institute of Computational Perception at JKU Linz on the GiantSteps) project; as well as at the Faculty of Informatics at TU Wien on the SmarterJam project. His main interests are deep learning, signal processing, and music information research.
