Summary
Prashanth Thattai is a London-based lecturer and AI music researcher blending computational creativity with accessible tools for co-creating music in low-resource genres like Carnatic. He focuses on interdisciplinary evaluations of how music AI representations map to human behaviour across cultures and on deploying real-time AI agents that perform alongside humans. At Goldsmiths, he leads research on generative audio for VR, gaming, and EdTech and serves as Course Leader for MOOCs, DSP, and computer graphics, while also co-leading the BSc Computer Science program. His work spans academia and industry-oriented prototypes, with publications in ICCC, NIME, and Creativity and Cognition, and collaboration that has produced NeurIPS-submission work with the University of the Arts London. His GitHub footprint centers on human-AI partnerships, machine learning, and music/audio creative coding, reflecting a hands-on, production-oriented approach. He earned a PhD in AI-Human-AI Interaction in Music from the National University of Singapore, along with an MA in AI and music technology, and holds a BTech in Computer Science from NIT Tiruchirappalli, underscoring a strong foundation in theory and practical software engineering.
