Short Bio

In 1998, Juan Pablo Bello, b. 1976, received an engineering degree in electronics from the Universidad Simon Bolivar in Caracas, Venezuela. After a two-year period working for Procter and Gamble, he received awards from institutions in Venezuela, the US and the UK, to pursue PhD studies, first at King's College London and then at Queen Mary, University of London. Under the supervision of Prof. Mark Sandler, he finalised his PhD work in 2003 on the automatic transcription of simple polyphonic music. This research was an essential part of the Online Music Recognition and Searching (OMRAS) project. Currently, Juan is the  Technical Manager of the Centre for Digital Music. His research is mainly focused on the semantic analysis of musical signals and its applications to music information retrieval, digital audio effects and live electronics.
