about

I am an MS student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Southern California, working toward doctoral research in audio signal processing, speech science and machine learning. I founded Mantle Sound in 2025 and formerly studied Sound and Music Computing at Queen Mary University of London.

My ecological recordings are on prod.mantle-sound.org, from docks, mountains and coastal areas in China, France, Switzerland and the UK.
