I am currently a PhD student at Queen Mary University of London in the Centre for Digital Music.

My primary research topic is polyphonic music transcription - the process of converting an audio recording into symbolic notation. The problem of automatic transcription is considered by many to be the holy grail in the field of music information retrieval (MIR). I have also worked in the past on other areas of music and speech signal processing, including onset detection, music genre recognition, dialogue detection, and musical instrument identification.

Prior to my PhD I studied at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, for my undergraduate and masters degrees. I have also worked as a research assistant in music signal processing at the Multimedia Informatics Lab, University of Crete, Greece.
