Ben Hayes

I am a research scientist at Sony Computer Science Laboratories Paris. I am currently finalising my PhD in Artificial Intelligence and Music from Queen Mary University of London’s Centre for Digital Music. My research blends digital signal processing and deep learning for audio synthesis and processing, with a particular focus on tools for creating and exploring music.
Previously, I was a research scientist intern at Spotify (Music Intelligence), Sony CSL (Music Team), and Bytedance (Speech, Audio & Music Intelligence), and lead the music team at Jukedeck. I have also worked extensively as a music producer, and was a lecturer in Electronic & Produced Music at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in London.
