Having taught at Northwestern University in 2000-2001, he was a Mellon Fellow in Music at the Society of Fellows at Columbia University in 2001-2003 and a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Music Department at Columbia in 2003-2004. Aside from film music, film criticism, and musical aesthetics, his interests include musical dramaturgy and the psychology of music. Biancorosso is also active in Hong Kong as a programmer and curator. He is the Chairman of the Hong Kong New Music Ensemble and a member of the Programme Committee of the Hong Kong Arts Festival.
