Hi, I'm Joren. I'm a research software engineer at the Ghent Center 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](#bio). On this website you can find a record of my research and other projects I have been working on.

### Bio Joren Six {#bio}

Mid 2008 Joren graduated as Master of Science: Computer Science at University College Ghent - Faculty Applied Engineering Sciences. His master’s thesis was on recommender systems. After his studies he started at Vooruit Arts Centre (Vooruit Arts Centre) to implement a recommender system and to help with IBBT research projects.

Late 2009, after a short stint at Cultuurnet Vlaanderen, he joined a MIR (Music Information Retrieval)-related research project at the school of arts, Ghent (School of Arts Ghent – Faculty of Music) ‘Development and Application of MIR Techniques on Contemporary Classical and Ethnic Music’. Late 2013 this project turned into a 4-year PhD-project at University Ghent, IPEM (Institute for Psychoacoustics and Electronic Music) (University Ghent - IPEM).

After his PhD defence, early 2018, Joren was involved in several projects as post-docoral researcher: an European project (Horizon 2020) involving music instrument teaching and robotics: CONBOTS, A Valorization project together with the sports science department of UGent and a three year Digital Humanities project: PaPiOM “Patterns in Pitch Organisation in Music”.

Late 2023 Joren started at the Ghent Center for Digital Humanities as a research software engineer to help humanities researchers find solutions for technical hurdles in their research.
