⌖ Currently at CBS, Leipzig
PhD candidate in Cognitive Science
I’m currently looking for PostDoc position starting in autumn 2025
I’m a PhD candidate at the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Science under the supervision of Marc Schönwiesner and a visiting researcher at the Computational Auditory Perception Group led by Nori Jacoby. My interests are about the cross-cultural diversity in music and the methods we can apply to quantify its characteristics. I combine datasets of music around the world with large scale behavioural experiments to tackle questions about inter-individual and cross-cultural differences in music cognition.
Recently I interned as a research scientist at Deezer Research, Paris where I explored the regional differences in musical diversity and spread of musical trends, drawing perspectives on both population and within-user levels.
I co-founded an artist collective called *aiar* that aims to fuse science with art. We use EEG to transform neural signals to creative musical expressions in live settings. In my past life and occasionally now in my spare time, I make music (Deezer, Spotify, Apple, Youtube).
