Magdalena Chudy, EngD
Magdalena Chudy is currently a postdoc researcher at the Digital Humanities Laboratory and a member of DARIAH-PL Music Information Retrieval Working Group. She holds a PhD in electronic engineering from Centre for Digital Music, Queen Mary University of London. Earlier, she studied computer science at Warsaw School of Information Technology and cello at St. Petersburg Conservatory. While in QMUL, she worked for EU FP7 project MIReS. She was a visiting researcher in Music Technology Group, Universitat Pompeu Fabra and Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology, McGill University. She was also involved in Women in Science and Technology focus groups such as WISE@QMUL and G.Hack. In her professional career, Magdalena combines research work with IT positions and music performing activities. Since 2014, she has been a member of Female Laptop Orchestra project which specializes in telematic performances using live streaming technologies. Her PhD research focused on player-dependent aspects of musical timbre. Upon joining IAPAS, her research areas have included analysis of traditional singing styles, automatic transcription of field recordings, as well as, developing IT solutions for ethnomusicological research and musical heritage discovery based on digital libraries and MIR tools.
