Elaine Chew is Professor of Engineering at King’s College London’s Engineering Department and School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences, where she founded/directs the Music Theranostics Lab. She studied piano (FTCL), music performance and mathematical/computational sciences (BAS Stanford) and operations research (SM, PhD MIT). A pioneer in music information research, Elaine Chew is forging new paths at the intersection of MIR and cardiovascular science. Her research models structures in music and physiological (cardiovascular) signals. Her work has been recognised by the ERC, PECASE, NSF CAREER, Harvard Radcliffe Institute, and Falling Walls (Breakthrough of the Year 2023 in Art & Science).

Elaine Chew is Professor of Engineering at King’s College London’s Department of Engineering and School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciences since 2022, where she founded/directs the Music Theranostics Lab. She was a senior CNRS researcher at IRCAM (STMS Lab), Professor of Digital Media at QMUL’s Centre for Digital Music, and Assistant/Associate Professor at University of Southern California, where she held the Viterbi Early Career Chair. She studied piano (FTCL), music performance and mathematical/computational sciences (BAS Stanford) and operations research (SM, PhD MIT). A pioneer in music information research, Elaine Chew is forging new paths at the intersection of MIR and cardiovascular science. Her research centres on the mathematical/computational modelling of music—she is inventor of the spiral array model—and physiological (cardiovascular) signals. Her work has been recognised by the ERC, PECASE, NSF CAREER, Harvard Radcliffe Institute, and Falling Walls (Breakthrough of the Year 2023 in Art & Science).
