Short bio (en)

Daniel Bedoya is a teacher/researcher with experience in music perception, acoustics, and data analysis. He conducted his doctoral research studying annotations of performed piano music through the musical prosody paradigm to explore structures in music performance.

Originally from Ecuador, Daniel got his undergraduate degree in Sound and Acoustics Engineering at Universidad de las Américas (UDLA) in Quito. After working as an acoustic engineer, he obtained a Master's in higher education at ESPE. He taught at UDLA Quito from 2013 to 2016. Then, he moved to France, earning a Master's degree in computer science, acoustics, and signal processing (ATIAM) at Sorbonne Université and the Institut de Recherche et Coordination Acoustique/Musique (IRCAM).

Interested in the disciplines of music perception and cognition, he has worked with the Perception and Sound Design (PDS) research team at IRCAM, looking at the relationship of music and emotions in the ERC project CREAM and exploring the influence of smiled speech perception in dyadic interactions in the REFLETS project, both under the supervision of Jean-Julien Aucouturier.

In 2019, Daniel joined the ERC AdG project COSMOS and the Musical Representations (RepMus) research team at IRCAM as a doctoral student under the supervision of Elaine Chew, where he collaborated with a team exploring music structures shaped in performance through their analysis and manipulation. In his doctoral research, Daniel designed a citizen science annotation protocol and laboratory experiments to help understand musical structures created in performance. In addition, he analyzed the annotator's perception of musical structures with the CosmoNote web-based annotation platform.

In 2022, Daniel joined the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers (CNAM) as a Temporary Teaching and Research Associate (ATER), where he completed his doctoral research and joined the teaching team. More specifically, his teaching work focused on acoustics and signal processing in four programs: the State Diploma in Audioprosthetics (CPDA), the Engineering Diploma in Aeronautics and Space (Aero), open distance learning (FOAD), and the French Institute of Industrial Refrigeration and Climatic Engineering (IFFI).

Since 2024, Daniel is a postdoctoral researcher at the GERiiCO lab (University of Lille), working on data analysis for algorithmic fairness in music streaming platforms as part of the Fair MusE Horizon Europe project, assessing the equity and diversity of music streaming platforms by analyzing a large database of donated listening history events from users of the major music streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music).
