Summary
Shuqi Dai is an Audio AI researcher and Ph.D. candidate at Carnegie Mellon University, now continuing her work at xAI, who blends deep technical research with musical practice to reinvent how we listen to, understand, perform, and create music. A Raj Reddy Fellow advised by Prof. Roger Dannenberg, she has nine years of research and industry experience with internships at Adobe, NVIDIA, and Microsoft Research Asia, translating cutting-edge audio ML into real products. Trained in both Western music and over 20 years as a professional Pipa performer, Shuqi uniquely combines ethnomusicological insight and composition with signal processing and ML to pursue applications across health and education. Her portfolio reflects collaborations with major labs and a creative, cross-disciplinary drive—she even frames her public github persona as resisting anonymity in the sea of engineers. Based in Pittsburgh, she brings rigorous academic grounding from CMU and Peking University and a track record of turning musical intuition into technically novel audio systems.
