About
Hi, I'm Joren. I'm a research software engineer at the Ghent Centre for Digital Humanities with expertise in the fields of Music Informatics and Music Information Retrieval. You can find out more about me in my bio. On this website you can find a record of my research and other projects I have been working on.Bio Joren Six
Late 2023 Joren started at the Ghent Centre for Digital Humanities as a research software engineer to help humanities researchers find solutions for technical hurdles in their research.
Before that, Joren was involved in several projects as post-doctoral researcher: a three year Digital Humanities project, PaPiOM — Patterns in Pitch Organisation in Music, a valorization project together with the sports science department of UGent, and a European project (Horizon 2020) involving music instrument teaching and robotics: CONBOTS.
His PhD was a 4-year project at University Ghent, IPEM (Institute for Psychoacoustics and Electronic Music), which started late 2013 as the continuation of an MIR (Music Information Retrieval)-related research project at the school of arts, Ghent: ‘Development and Application of MIR Techniques on Contemporary Classical and Ethnic Music’. He had joined that project late 2009, after a short stint at Cultuurnet Vlaanderen.
His first position out of university was at Vooruit Arts Centre, where he implemented a recommender system and helped with IBBT research projects. He had started there mid 2008, right after graduating as Master of Science: Computer Science at University College Ghent - Faculty Applied Engineering Sciences, with a master’s thesis on recommender systems.
