Welcome!
I'm Iris Yuping Ren
I am a PhD candidate at the Utrecht University. My background: maths, physics, stats (BSc), complex system science (MSc), electrical and computer engineering (MSc), and cultural industry management (BMS). I’m interested in Music Information Retrieval (MIR), Functional Programming, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence.
