Hullo! I'm Jingwei, a fourth-year PhD candidate from the NUS Sound & Music Computing Lab, supervised by Prof. Ye Wang. My research lies at the intersection of computer music and machine learning, with a particular focus on music representation learning, controllable music composition, and various MIR tasks. My goal is to enhance the enjoyment, interaction, and co-creation of music through research.
Before joining NUS, I earned my B.E. with honours in Automation at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, where I was part of the prestigious Zhiyuan Honours Program. In my final year, I interned at the Music X Lab, NYU Shanghai, under the mentorship of Prof. Gus Xia, with whom I am honoured to continue collaborating.
I'm a professional accordionist and a baritone singer. I proudly served in the SJTU Student Choir in my college years. I enjoy classical music, J-Pop, reading, and jogging. My favourite artist is Teresa Teng.
