Me
I did my PhD at McGill in Music Technology, working with Stephen McAdams and Jonas Braasch in the Music Perception and Cognition Lab (MPCL). Since November 2010 I am a postdoc affiliated with University of California, Berkeley (ICSI, CNMAT, Par Lab).
Current Research Projects
Content Analysis of spatial sound scenes: separation, classifying and tracking of sounding objects and acoustical properties in 3D
I am developing a real-time analysis framework for large scale microphone arrays which can be used for spatial audio content production and for retrieving acoustical features from the environment. This project is financed through a DAAD scholarship.
The Spatial Sound Description Interchange Format (SpatDIF)
I initiated SpatDIF, a format to describe spatial audio information in a structured way. This open format is under development, more under www.spatdif.org.
Research Goals
My research goal is to improve the quality in spatial audio presentations through:
- Research and development of content authoring tools and audio rendering techniques
- Investigating studying loudspeaker-room interactions
- Understanding the perception of spatial audio content and its reproduction artifacts
- Investigating machine learning techniques for predicting the quality of spatial audio reproduction
Specialties and Interests
- Perception and modeling of spatialized sounds
- Auditory scene analysis
- Psycho-acoustics
