Hi! I am Michal Goldstein, a PhD candidate in Music Technology at NYU.
My research focuses on the intersection of music, cognitive science, and machine learning.
At the Music and Audio Research Laboratory, I employ computational methods to investigate human perception and response to music, aiming to uncover underlying patterns in melodic structure and emotional expression.
My academic background, encompassing an undergraduate degree in Psychology and Musicology and a Master's degree in Musicology and Cognitive Sciences from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, has prepared me for my current research at NYU. I am particularly interested in exploring the convergence of music and technology.
In addition to my research, I am dedicated to teaching and mentorship. As an adjunct professor and teaching assistant, I have guided students in music cognition, keyboard harmony, and research methodologies, fostering a collaborative and critical thinking environment.
I invite you to explore my work and engage in the exciting dialogue between music, the brain, and technology.
