Roberto Bresin is working as Professor of Media Technology at the Division of Media Technology and Interaction Design (MID), School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. He has been heading the Sound and Music Computing group at KTH since 2014. He is the Director of Studies for the KTH Master of Science in Engineering, Degree Programme in Media Technology.
Since June 2019, he has been the Director of NAVET, a KTH centre for research in the intersection of art, technology and design, including schools of art, design and museums. His main research interests are expressive music performance, emotion in sound and music performance, sound in interaction, robot sound design, and sonification.

Together with his research team, Professor Vesa Välimäki studies the use of deep learning in music and audio processing. His team at the Aalto Acoustics Lab has conducted pioneering research in the modeling of guitar amplifiers and other analog music technology using various neural network architectures. Additionally, they have discovered improved methods for removing clicks and hiss from old music recordings using deep neural networks. They have also recently found new ways to recover the missing high frequencies of old recordings applying a generative machine-learning technique.
Creative Technologies community collaborates with Aalto Digital Creatives which is a pre-incubator program tailored for the creative industries. They both utilise the MAGICS infrastructure for human virtualisation.

Hybrid Stage events are tailored for simultaneous on-site and online participation. The venue has four robotic cameras that cover the whole event area. Please note that the audience might appear in the live stream and recordings.
Aalto Digital Creatives pre-incubator programme aims to help creative industry students, researchers and practitioners on their path towards entrepreneurship. The programme is supported by the City of Helsinki and it’s part of Helsinki-based higher education institutions’ campus incubators network. Aalto Digital Creatives programme is coordinated by Aalto Startup Center and Aalto Studios.
MAGICS is an infrastructure network to support research into motion recording, and virtual environments. It is a joint effort of Aalto University, Tampere University and the University of the Arts Helsinki.
