A thriving community is very important to me, so I spare no effort to foster inclusive and supportive environments. I strive to make musical experiences accessible and welcoming to all through teaching, mentoring, and providing technical assistance. During the pandemic it has been rewarding to facilitate real-time performances online by advising musicians at Stanford and beyond. At CCRMA I am excited to curate concerts with artists from diverse backgrounds while also collaborating on artistic and research projects. We are developing an AI-based system that would allow anyone, regardless of physical ability or disability, to play electronic instruments with their brain.
