Science & Technology / "AI"

Synthesizing frameworks from science & technology studies (STS), history and philosophy of science, communication and sound studies, I examine how widely held assumptions around human intelligence, emotion, and perception are challenged as they become objects of scientific inquiry and engineering. 

 

To date, areas I've examined in relation to this have largely focused on "artificial intelligence" (AI) technologies: 

​

  • Voice analytics

  • Speech Emotion Recognition (SER) 

  • Voice "engines" (cloning / synthesis / translation)

  • Speaker recognition / voice biometrics 

  • Acoustic Gunshot Detection Systems (AGDS)

  • Benchmarking practices

  • Venture capital narratives

 

Currently, I'm exploring the histories of cognitive psychology and neuroscience, and their intersections with the development of artificial intelligence research. 

Digital Platforms x Sound

In addition to my work on AI/ML systems, I've published research on communities that form around digital platforms such as Tinder, Spotify, Thematic, and Instagram, with a focus on their sonic components. 

South Korea & K-Pop

I've also given talks on South Korean pop culture based on my prior experiences as a producer in the K-Pop industry and research on cosmetic surgery culture in South Korea.
