Hey there, my name is Guo Zixun Nicolas. Originally Chinese and now a Singaporean PR . I graduated from NTU in 2020 with a degree in Electrical engineering. Currently I’m a researcher in AI+Music.

Yes, you hear that right AI+ music. I am passionate about music since young and I have been fatansizing to become a musician when I was in secondary school. I’m a also a techie and hence I’ve decided to merge both of my interests and pursue a career in AI+music.

Traveling is also a big part of my life. I backpacked through Europe in 2018 and currently exploring the Southeast Asian countries. I enjoy meeting new people from different cultures especially in this chaotic world. I always believe in humanity!
