Marcelo Caetano received the Ph.D. degree in signal processing from Université Pierre et Marie Curie (UPMC) and Institut de Recherche et Coordination Acoustique/Musicque (IRCAM), France, under the supervision of Prof. Xavier Rodet in 2011. Dr. Caetano worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the Signal Processing Laboratory (SPL) of the Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas (FORTH), Greece, and at the Sound and Music Computing (SMC) group of INESC TEC, Portugal. In 2015, he was an invited Assistant Professor with the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP). In 2017, he was a visiting researcher at the Aplicación de las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicaciones (ATIC) research group of the University of Malaga (UMA), Spain.

In 2019, Dr. Caetano received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) grant agreement No 831852 (MORPH). Currently, Dr. Caetano is a research fellow of the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology (CIRMMT) at McGill University, Canada, and of the laboratory Perception, Representations, Image, Sound, and Music (PRISM) of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), France.

Dr. Caetano is interested in the connection between mechanisms of sound production and sound perception. His research focuses on analysis and synthesis for sound transformation, musical orchestration, and musical timbre. He has published over 40 peer-reviewed articles in international journals and conferences with more than 400 citations (h-index 12). He regularly reviews for the most prominent international conferences and journals in his field.
