Exploring the intersection between science, music, and technology

Welcome to my website, a place where my universes meet. Physics through acoustics; music through musical composition and performance; and the universe of technology through Artificial Intelligence. Additionally, I want to share my passion for teaching.

Analysis and processing of acoustic signals

One of my research areas focuses mainly on the analysis and processing of acoustic signals. I have developed didactic experiments for teaching musical acoustics, both for young university students in science and engineering majors and for musicians. Understanding acoustic phenomena such as reflection, refraction, diffraction, and resonance, among others, is essential to complement training in both areas of knowledge.

Applied artificial intelligence

In the realm of music, the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the analysis of acoustic signals has revolutionized how we perceive and create melodies. AI algorithms, driven by machine learning techniques, have the capability to decipher intricate patterns within musical soundscapes. By delving into the nuances of acoustic signals, AI can identify key elements such as pitch, rhythm, and timbre, fostering a profound understanding of musical compositions.

Teaching acoustic physics

Teaching physics, specifically acoustics, thrives through hands-on experimental practices. By immersing students in practical experiments, the complexities of acoustic phenomena transform from abstract concepts into tangible experiences. Through activities like sound wave propagation demonstrations and resonance experiments, students not only grasp theoretical principles but also develop a profound connection with the subject matter. These hands-on engagements foster a deeper understanding of acoustics, allowing students to witness the direct correlation between theoretical knowledge and real-world applications.

Mathematics, computing and music conferences

My active participation in several national and international conferences on mathematical, physical and computational applications of musical and computational acoustics has been instrumental in shaping my professional path. These conferences serve as dynamic platforms where I share my research results, exchange ideas with experts, and explore cutting-edge advances in the interdisciplinary field. Through these interactions, I not only contribute to the collective knowledge base, but also establish valuable connections with colleagues who share a passion for the convergence of mathematics, physics, and computer science in the field of musical acoustics. These conferences continually inspire me to push the boundaries of innovation and deepen my expertise in this fascinating intersection of disciplines.

My first passion, MUSIC!

Passion for the piano and recorder

I discovered my passion for the piano at the age of 20, since then it became my complementary instrument that, together with the recorder, allows me to express musical ideas in a unique way.

Music teacher

Another of my passions is teaching music. I have worked for more than 15 years as a teacher of different subjects such as: Musical language, harmony, counterpoint, recorder, piano, among others. I think that everyone should learn this language of sounds regardless of age, the benefits that our brain and body can receive when we learn music are enormous.

Conductor and composer

In musical terms I can say that my first passion was the recorder. I began studies at a very early age and was able to transmit at different times my knowledge in the performing of this instrument to different children, young people and adults. I was the founder of the chamber music group ‘Le Fénix Consort’, a recorder musical group specialized in performing Early music and contemporary repertoire. Additionally, I have dedicated the last few years to musical creation through contemporary composition. I have composed works for piano, string quintet, recorders, choir, among others.

My second passion, ACOUSTICS

Professor

As a professor, my commitment extends beyond the classroom. I strive to instill a didactic understanding of physics and mathematics in my students so that they have sufficient tools to study different acoustic phenomena. By guiding you through the world of sound waves and vibrations, my goal is to encourage curiosity and critical thinking.

Researcher

In the field of research, my efforts have focused on unraveling the complexities of acoustic phenomena. Through rigorous research, I have contributed to the body of knowledge of musical and computational acoustics, delving primarily into musical timbre as a multidimensional and highly complex phenomenon. This pursuit of knowledge has not only deepened my experience but has also allowed me make significant contributions to the scientific community through published work and academic collaborations.

Technology Developer

As a technology enthusiast, my journey as a developer has been intricately woven into the realms of musical applications and educational physics technology. With a passion for innovation, I delve into the intricate world of microcontrollers, crafting solutions that harmonize technology and music. From designing electronic controllers for musical instruments to developing cutting-edge educational tools for physics. Bridging the gap between technology and pedagogy, I thrive on creating immersive learning experiences. In this dynamic landscape, I continuously explore the relation between electronics and education, contributing to a future where technology enriches both the artistic and educational dimensions of our lives.
