Research
Perception, cognition and aesthetics of sound, Crossmodal an multisensory perception involving sound, Enabling digital audio with an understanding of how we listen, Modelling human values (and biases) with digital music data, Digital tools for education
Interests
My research focuses on cognitive representations of timbre and metaphor, including digital interactive cross-sensory games for public engagement and in-the-wild collection of behavioural data. I am a founding member of the International Conference on Timbre and acted as co-editor for the scientific volumes Timbre: Acoustics, Perception, & Cognition (2019) and Musical Haptics (2018). I am also interested in data-driven approaches to modelling human values (and biases) using multimodal music data (Turing Fellow 2021–2023).Publications
