Christoph FinkensiepSince 2017, Christoph is a doctoral researcher at the Digital andCognitive Musicology Lab. He obtained his Master's degree in CognitiveScience at the University of Osnabrück with a thesis entitled"A Formal Model of Voice Leading" (2017). His Bachelor in ComputerScience at the University of Paderborn was completed with a thesisthat addressed the problem of "Automatic Composition of SemanticWebservices" (2014).His current research focuses on computational modeling of musicalstructure. Further scientific interests include music cognition,probabilistic modeling and machine learning, artificial intelligence,as well as philosophy of mind and philosophy of science. In addition, heis an active trombonist and occassional arranger, composer, and conductor.
Miguel Fernández RuizNé en Espagne en 1977, Miguel Fernández Ruiz obtient son diplôme en ingénierie civile par l'université polytechnique de Madrid (Espagne) en 2001, où il reçoit le prix national au meilleur étudiant en ingénierie civile. Il poursuit ensuite ses études de doctorat dans la même université, obtenant le titre de docteur (cum laude) en 2003. Pendant les études de doctorat, il travaille à temps partiel (75%) en tant qu'ingénieur conseil spécialisé dans les structures mixtes.
En 2004, il rejoint l'équipe du Prof. Muttoni à l'EPFL en tant que post-doc, obtenant ensuite une promotion en tant que collaborateur scientifique et chargé de cours. En 2014, il est nommé Maître d'Enseignement et Recheche à l'EPFL. Actuellement, il travaille à l'EPFL à temps partiel (70%) et développe en parallèle une carrière professionnelle dans le domaine de l'ingénierie de structures.
Petter Harald EricsonPetter Ericson is a formal language and theoretical computing science expert, specifically focused on efficient graph grammars formalisms, who has joined the DCML as a Postdoctoral Researcher in 2019. He achieved his undergraduate degrees in Computing Science, as well as his PhD in the same subject, at Umeå University, investigating various topics within the general area of (parameterized) complexity theory, automata theory and formal languages, specifically looking at more complex structures such as graphs and trees. In particular, his work touched on applications in Natural Language Processing such as mildly context-sensitive syntax analysis and semantic modelling and processing.
An avid trombonist and amateur composer and arranger as well as a sometimes hacker and maker, his musical and research interests have previously intersected at the international Music Tech Fest events, where his presentations has garnered two hack camp wins, and a semi-regular place in the organising team.
