Yu Chia Kuo
Yu-Chia Kuo is a master’s student and part-time research assistant at McGill University’s Distributed Digital Music Archives & Libraries Laboratory (DDMAL) within the Department of Music Research. She was a research assistant at the Music and Culture Technology Laboratory, Institute of Information Science, Academia Sinica, Taiwan. Yu-Chia completed her bachelor’s degree in Food Science and Biotechnology at National Chung Hsing University, where she also honed her skills as a jazz pianist and performed with the university jazz band.
Her research interests encompass music information retrieval, music composition, experimental audiovisuals, and human-computer interaction. As a multimedia artist, she has mainly focused on electronic music composition and sound design, constantly seeking new interpretations through multimedia content. Her work aims to craft sonic scenographies that transform audience perceptions by integrating informatics and contemporary music technology. Recent projects include “Tree Rings,” an immersive dome performance at the Labos Immersifs Residency, Satosphère of SAT Montréal (2025); “Seascape Serenity,” a 49-channel sound installation presented at the C-LAB X IRCAM Workshop Program (2024); “The Gravity Realm,” featured at the Black Hole Exhibit at the National Museum of Nature and Science (2023); and “Immersi Topia,” a VR sound installation showcased at the 13th OpenHCI Workshop.
As a researcher, she focuses on interdisciplinary music research, automated music analysis, and expressive synthesis for string performance. Her recent collaborative projects include motif discovery in symbolic polyphonic music with motif note identification, creating a symbolic music dataset for computational analysis of symphonies, and a study on expressive synthesis for violin performance generation.

郭又嘉目前是麥吉爾大學音樂學系音樂科技組研究生與兼職研究助理。她曾在中央研究院資訊科學研究所擔任全職研究助理。畢業於國立中興大學食品暨應用生物科技學系學士班，同時她也在大學期間擔任爵士鋼琴手並參與爵士樂團的演出。
主要以音樂資訊檢索、電聲作曲、及實驗音像，為研究方向；並關注人機互動、科技敘事等議題。作為藝術創作者，她專注於電子音樂和不同媒材的聲音創作，利用 Max/MSP 作為聲音設計與數據互動的主要工具，並透過聲響藝術的視角構思資料聲音化的創作可能，以建立聲音與數據的連結。近期參與製作：蒙特婁 SAT 科技藝術中心《Labos Immersifs》駐村計畫之沈浸式穹頂演出《Tree Rings》 (2025)、IRCAM x C-LAB 工作坊之 49 聲道聲音裝置《Seascape Serenity》(2024) 、國立自然科學博物館《驚心洞波：黑洞暨重力波特展》之展場聲音設計 (2023)、OpenHCI 第十三屆人機互動工作坊《Unity》之技術教學助理，以及 VR 沈浸式聲音裝置《Immersi Topia》之聲音設計 (2023)。
作為研究人員，她專注於跨域音樂、自動音樂分析和光學樂譜辨識等相關研究，參與計畫包括：用於音樂動機偵測 (motif discovery in symbolic polyphonic music with motif note identification)，建置交響樂作曲分析的音樂資料庫 (symbolic music dataset for computational analysis of symphonies)，以及小提琴表演生成的表現合成研究 (Expressive music synthesis)。
