Ben Duane is an Associate Professor of Theory and Composition at Washington University in St. Louis (on leave Spring 2025). He holds a PhD in Music Theory and Cognition from Northwestern University, advised by Robert Gjerdingen. His research focuses on musical texture, form, music cognition, computational modeling, and 18th/early 19th-century music, with interdisciplinary explorations into probability theory applications. Previously, he held a Mellon Post-Doctoral Fellowship at Columbia University.
Education:
- PhD in Music Theory and Cognition, Northwestern University
Research interests include:
