Hi, I’m Zin. I’m a first-year PhD student in the Algomus and MINT teams at CRIStAL, Université de Lille, working on curiosity driven and lifelong learning for mixed initiative musical co-creativity under the ANR project MICCDroP with Dr. Ken Déguernel and Dr. Florent Berthaut. Previously, I did MS in Music and Technology and BS in Mathematical Sciences with minor in Physics at Carnegie Mellon University. Apart from my thesis topic, I’m also working on rhythm game research, and I’m always open to collaborate on related projects (join our Discord!). Apart from music, I work on game design, art math, and math art. I’m generally interested in understanding and modeling curiosity, creativity, and aesthetics. I look forward to working with people from all disciplines on interesting projects related to music, art, and games.
