I got a Bachelor degree in Computer Science from the Federal University of Minas Gerais - UFMG, in the beginning of 1999. I studied clarinet for 3 years with Prof. Walter Alves de Souza, first clarinetist of the Symphonic Orchestra of Minas Gerais, and studied music in the Artistic Education Foundation. My first scientific project was "necSO - Uma Linguagem de Composição Implementada num Sistema de Síntese e Processamento de Som do Tipo MUSIC V (Csound)", developed in 1996 under supervision of Prof. Maurício Alves Loureiro, from the School of Music, UFMG. In 2000, I received a Masters Degree in Telecom Engineering with the multidisciplinary project "Analysis and Resynthesis of natural clarinet sound using principal component analysis (PCA)", under supervision of Prof. Hani Camille Yehia, UFMG. |
