Dr. George Tzanetakis George Tzanetakis is an Assisstant Professor in the Department of Computer Science with cross-listed appointments in ECE and Music at the University of Victoria. He received his PhD in Computer Science at Princeton University in 2002 and was a Post-Doctoral fellow at Carnegie Mellon University in 2002-2003. His research spans all stages of audio content analysis such as feature extraction, segmentation, classification with specific emphasis on music information retrieval. His pioneering work on musical genre classification received a IEEE signal processing society young author award and is frequently cited. More recently he has been exploring new interfaces for musical expression, music robotics, computational ethnomusicology, and computer-assisted music instrument tutoring. These interdisciplinary activities combine ideas from signal processing, perception, machine learning, sensors, actuators and human-computer interaction with the connecting theme of making computers better understand music to create more effective interactions with musicians and listeners.

CSI: Audio Forensics: Solving a Crime using Signal Processing and Sound Source LocalizationIn this project, students learn how computer science forensics and signal processing can be used to help solve crimes. After learning about some real-world case studies, the students work on a "bank robbery case", processing audio data from several microphones to track the movement of suspects based on the footsteps. Programming is done in Java. In the process, students learn some basics about both Java programming and digital signal processing. | | UPCOMING DEADLINES | 1 February 2010
