EXPERTISE &<br />
ASSESTS<br />
I am a dedicated, independent worker with a strong belief in pr<strong>of</strong>essionalism and with<br />
aspirations for teamwork. I have excellent DSP programming skills, demonstrated<br />
through various projects <strong>of</strong> mine such as an extended Karplus-Strong<br />
VST instrument written in C++, and a time-frequency processing system prototyped<br />
in Matlab which, developed in my Ph.D., inspired a series <strong>of</strong> publications.<br />
I was first in a 40-students class in the second year <strong>of</strong> my Bachelors in Musicology,<br />
and I have very strong Music Theory. I also have a strong artistic<br />
potential, as exemplified by the various compositions <strong>of</strong> my Music Technology<br />
Masters where I obtained First-Class Honours. More details on my pr<strong>of</strong>ile and<br />
work examples can be found on my webspace http://www.cs.nuim.ie/~matthewh/<br />

My thesis tackles the problem <strong>of</strong> Excitation Extraction, an <strong>of</strong>fline processing<br />
paradigm with applications in Sampling and Digital Waveguide<br />
Synthesis. My work uncovers the reasons why Excitation Extraction has until<br />
now only been successfully applied to strings with negligible inharmonicity. In<br />
my approach, the string partials are subtracted in the frequency domain,<br />
directly upon their measurements. This approach relies on the linearity <strong>of</strong> the<br />
Short-Time Fourier Transform, various time-frequency domain equivalences,<br />
and an analytical understanding <strong>of</strong> the effects <strong>of</strong> windowing. The foremost<br />
advantage <strong>of</strong> this time-frequency approach is the advent <strong>of</strong> real-time excitation<br />
extraction. Examples <strong>of</strong> and references to this work can be found on my webspace,<br />

I earned First-Class Honours in this taught Masters directed by Doctor<br />
Victor Lazzarini, foremost developer <strong>of</strong> Csound 5 and designer <strong>of</strong> the SndObj<br />
library. In my Masters project I programmed in C a sound-source localiser based<br />
on a simple circular head model, implementing the perceptual cues <strong>of</strong> Interaural<br />
Intensity and Time Difference (IITs and ITDs), the precedence effect and the<br />
inverse-square law. Examples <strong>of</strong> and references to this work can be found on my<br />
