Having done my postdoc and PhD on music generation (see MorpheuS project), I am happy to announce that I am the PI of a new MOE Tier 2 grant on 'aiMuVi: AI Music generated from Videos' with SGD 648,216 in funding. My co-PIs on this project are Prof. Gemma Roig from SUTD, Prof. Eran Gozy from MIT (creator of Guitar Hero), and collaborator Prof. Kat Agres from A*STAR/NUS.

Abstract of the proposal:

A few months ago, Prof. Gemma Roig (PI, SUTD), Prof. Dorien Herremans (co-PI, SUTD), Dr. Kat Agres (co-PI, A*STAR) and Dr. Eran Gozy (co-PI, MIT, creator of Guitar Hero) got awarded a new grant from the International Design Center (joint research institute of MIT and SUTD) for 'An intelligent system for understanding and matching perceived emotion from video with music'. This is an exiting opportunity and the birth of our new Affective Computing Lab at SUTD that links the computer vision lab and AMAAI lab.

Prof. Lucienne Blessing (co-PI, SUTD), Prof. Lynette Chea (Co-PI, SUTD) and Prof. Takehiko Nagakura (co-PI, MIT) and myself (PI) have just been awarded a grant from the International Design Center (MIT-SUTD). The topic of the grant is to build an Augmented Reality Game to stimulate Climate Change Awareness and support Project P280 within SUTD. The game design will be done by SUTD Game Lab.
