Summary
Eli Stine is an interdisciplinary computer music researcher, educator, and software engineer with a decade of experience building spatial audio and multimedia systems. As an Assistant Professor at Oberlin and a former software engineer at Meta Reality Labs Audio Research, he has developed and shipped advanced room-acoustics and ray-tracing spatial audio algorithms while bridging academic research and product-facing prototypes. His creative projects—spanning multi-channel speaker systems, AR/VR experiences, and biologically informed ML—have been featured in the New York Times, The Economist, and on NPR and toured internationally. Eli holds a Ph.D. in Composition and Computer Technologies and has published at SMC, NIME, and EvoMUSART, combining rigorous DSP and signal-processing expertise with compositional practice. Comfortable leading interdisciplinary teams and teaching technical and artistic audiences, he also co-founded Mutations to explore novel media experiences outside academia. A less obvious strength: he pairs deep low-level audio engineering with studio-grade recording and live performance experience, enabling work that translates from research papers to concert halls and consumer platforms.
