Senior🎓
Top SchoolEstefanía Cano is a chief scientist and applied researcher with over 15 years in audio and music information retrieval, currently leading R&D at AudioSourceRE to commercialize advanced AI sound separation across cloud, on-device and embedded platforms. She combines deep technical expertise—from sound source separation and audio fingerprinting to model quantization and deployment—with product outcomes, having driven 5+ product releases and 10+ updates. A PhD in Media Technology with prior roles at Fraunhofer IDMT and A*STAR, she has a track record of translating research into impact, including a licensed pitch-informed separation algorithm and a widely used fingerprinting patent for audience monitoring. As co-founder and CSO of Songquito she brought a music-learning game to market (Songs2See, 15k+ licenses), blending music performance training (saxophone) with engineering rigor. Her work often targets constrained compute environments, reflecting a practical bent for squeezing state-of-the-art models into embedded devices.
