Hello!

I'm Annie (she/her), a 3rd year PhD student at Northwestern University in the Technology & Social Behavior program, a dual PhD program in Computer Science and Communications.

I'm currently at the Interactive Audio Lab, advised by Dr. Bryan Pardo. My research interests lie at the intersection of audio, machine learning, human-computer interaction, and computational musicology.

Previously, I completed my B.S. in Electrical & Computer Engineering with a concentration in Media Arts at Olin College in Boston, MA. In my free time, you can find me walking around record shops, watching stand up, or playing bananagrams. I am also on the hunt for the best bagel in Chicago.

You can reach me at anniechu [at] u.northwestern.edu
