Stefan will participate at the Composers Forum this semester and will give NOVARS research groups a workshop about physical models of sounds using matlab.
Stefan is senior Lecturer in Digital Signal Processing, Physical Modelling of Instrumental Sounds.
Stefan Bilbao received his BA in Physics at Harvard University ('92), then spent two years at the Institut de Recherche et Coordination Acoustique Musicale ( IRCAM ) in Paris as a student intern. He then completed the MSc and PhD degrees in Electrical Engineering at Stanford University ('96 and '01, respectively), while working at the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics (CCRMA ). He currently works on sound synthesis based on physical models of musical instruments, with a particular focus on mainstream numerical simulation techniques, e.g. finite difference methods. Special topics of interest include: Hamiltonian and symplectic methods, distributed nonlinear systems such as strings and plates, estimates of computational complexity, multichannel sound synthesis. A sideline is joint work with composers of electroacoustic music.
