Profession

About me

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Cognitive Systems group, investigating perceptual aspects of sonification and developing a psychoacoustic auditory display.

Grants

2018

Postdoc Plus Scholarship provided by the Claussen-Simon-Foundation to finish writing and publishing my monograph on spaciousness in acoustics, auditory perception, and sound field synthesis, to continue my research on the sound radiation characteristics of musical instruments and to teach psychoacoustic auditory display.
