She conducts an interdisciplinary research practice based in music theory, music perception and cognition, and computational musicology. Her recent research has focused on modeling musical structure from a statistical perspective, as well as examining the cognitive and behavioral correlates of those structures, especially as it relates to musical expectations and emotional responses. Her research has been published in leading conferences and journals, including Music Perception, Musicae Scientiae, ICMPC, and ISMIR. Claire received her Ph.D. in music theory and cognition from Ohio State University and was a postdoctoral fellow in music technology at McGill University.
