Hi, all 👋
I am a second-year PhD student in Music Technology at Georgia Tech, in the Computational and Cognitive Musicology Lab (CCML).
I study why music feels rewarding, and how emotion and mood shape that experience, through the lens of cognitive science and computational modeling.
These days, I’m exploring why the same piece of music can delight one listener and leave another cold: how each of us weighs different aspects of music to decide what we like, and how those personal values shape the way we engage with music.
In the long run, I hope to understand how music regulates our mood, and to find new ways music can support well-being and mental health.
