Elaine Chew , pianist and computational scientist, is a versatile and interdisciplinary artist-scientist. Elaine performs in concerts featuring lab-grown compositions and cutting-edge technologies including real-time scientific visualisations of music structures and performer electrocardiography and breathing, human-machine improvisation, and augmented instruments. 

A leading authority in music representation, expressivity, and perception and cognition, Elaine is pioneering new research at the intersection of music and cardiovascular science, applying music information research techniques to music-heart-brain interaction and computational arrhythmia research. Her work has been recognised by Falling Walls (Breakthrough of the Year 2023 in Art & Science), European Research Council, (US) Presidential Early Career Award in Science & Engineering, National Science Foundation CAREER Award, and Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard; her arrhythmia music won an Unexpected Oscar on BBC World Service.

Born in Buffalo, NY, and raised in Singapore where she achieved critical acclaim in piano competitions under the tutelage of Ong Lip-Tat (王立达). Elaine then studied music (distinction) and computational maths (honors) at Stanford and proposed the spiral array model in her PhD at MIT where she was also awarded the Laya and Jerome B. Wiesner Award for outstanding achievement and contribution to the arts. She has held faculty/researcher positions at CNRS Paris (IRCAM/STMS), QMUL, USC (Los Angeles), and visitor appointments at Harvard and Lehigh. Since 2022, Elaine is founder/director of the Music Theranostics Laboratory and Professor of Engineering at King's College London.
