I am a research software engineer at the Amsterdam Music Lab (University of Amsterdam), and also worked at the Research Software Lab of Utrecht University’s Centre for Digital Humanities.
I conducted PhD research at the Dutch Meertens Institute and the Music Cognition Group of the University of Amsterdam, applying computational approaches to study melodic stability in the Meertens Intitute’s Dutch folk song collection, leading up to my doctorate in 2018. My dissertation, titled “Retained or Lost in Transmission? Analyzing and Predicting Stability in Dutch Folk Songs” can be found here.
Before my academic work, I developed my interests in music technology and education at STEIM and the Digital Arts Lab.
My educational background is a M.A. in Musicology and English Literature at the University of Hamburg. I also studied Composition and Music Production as a guest student at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge.
