Eduardo Miranda
University of Plymouth, UK

I am a composer and Professor in Computer Music. I run the Interdisciplinary Centre for Computer Music Research (ICCMR).
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is shaping the future of many professions, and the creative industry is no exception.
My research examines how to harness AI for creativity and educate future generations of AI-ready professionals.
To study for a doctorate under my supervision, please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss your interests.
I am an experienced PhD supervisor (Director of Studies). I have guided dozens of doctoral students to successful completion and have considerable experience with post-graduate external examinations.
My doctoral graduates have secured jobs all over the world, from Asia (e.g., Education University of Hong Kong) and North America (e.g., McGill University, Canada), to Europe (e.g., University of the Arts, Berlin), and in a wide range of companies such as Arm microprocessors, L-Acoustics and the Met Office.
I have been developing and composing music using AI since the 1980s. In 1995, I defended what is likely the first PhD thesis in the UK on developing AI for music at the University of Edinburgh.
I championed the application of neo-Darwinian evolutionary algorithms to model the origins of music and the development of bio-inspired computational models for musical creativity. Recently, I made the headlines of Forbes Magazine as a pioneer in leveraging AI with Quantum Computing for music.
