Carey Bunks

Carey Bunks is a Visiting Professor at the School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science, Queen Mary University of London. Their research focuses on music informatics and algorithm development, particularly in Cover Song Identification (CSI) funded by Apple. The project emphasizes robust algorithms for detecting musical improvisations and variations across song versions, with applications in copyright protection and music recommendation systems.

Key research interests include harmonic analysis, jazz musicology, signal processing, and computational methods applied to music. Their work bridges computer science and music theory, addressing challenges in audio analysis and algorithmic musicology.

Collaborations involve industry partnerships like Apple, leveraging interdisciplinary expertise in software engineering, numerical computing (e.g., Scilab), and signal processing. Earlier contributions span seismic analysis, reservoir monitoring, and cybersecurity methodologies.
