Summary
Florian Colombo is a Director of Education and computational neuroscientist with nine years of experience building deep learning algorithms that bridge music, neuroscience and pedagogy. He completed a PhD at EPFL developing algorithms that learn musical structure to compose new scores and earlier produced award-winning work applying LSTM networks to polyphonic music. At Music:Eyes he translates technical possibilities into educational applications, while also managing music projects and organizing performances. An active cellist and founder of the Lausanne Student Orchestra, he combines hands-on musicianship with technical fluency in signal processing and algorithm design. He has applied data-driven methods to cultural archives (Montreux Jazz Festival) to surface socio-emotional insights, a less obvious thread linking his research to heritage and education. This blend of research rigor, product-minded education work, and ongoing creative practice makes him effective at turning complex data into impactful musical learning experiences.
