Freda Xiaoyun Yu

Warm regards to everyone. I am Freda Xiaoyun Yu. I have been practicing the piano for 21 years (started eletronic piano at the age of 4, and piano at the age of 8). I was trained singing in Tianjin Conservatory of Music when I was 3 years old, and I also started to learn music theory at the same year there. In Tianjin Nankai High School, I was in Chorus Class for 3 years.

I play the piano, cucurbit flute, ukulele, ocarina, electric piano, ... and I'm always ready to try new instruments.

I am an independent musician in Tencent QQ and 5sing website (China Original Music Base).

I graduated from the University of London (Goldsmiths), learning BSc Computer Science (Data Science), with First-Class Honour (anticipated). I also have study experiences in the University of Georgia. I major in computer science, and I have great interests in natural science & mathematics. I have been recording the vegetation and birds in places I have been to for many years.

Study/research interests: Music theory, J. S. Bach, Computer theories, Plant biology, phylogeny, all aspects of Mathematics, Ecology.

I love the book Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid. It has inspired me from my junior years, and is continuously encouraging me to learn more on computing, music theory, and art appreciation. I have understood that, all the theoretical beauties are related to each other. I admire Alan Turing, Bach, Ada Lovelace.
