Research Interests

  • Research, development, and in-depth exploration of key issues in the ever-evolving field of environmental acoustics, incorporating increasingly interdisciplinary and innovative tools thanks to technological advances in both sound and visual domains. This includes developments in soundscape, sound design—that is, research conducted within the science of soundscape and the creation of “healthy” acoustic environments through the optimal use of fields such as architectural acoustics and audio engineering to
  • control/shape the acoustic environment of a given place or space, the broadly defined field of sound ecology, the sound in urban spaces and its impact on human perception of a place, the interaction between a given environment and humans, transformations of the sound environment and the associated hazards, research on perception, psychoacoustic qualitative assessment and identification of environmental sounds, as well as audio-visual connotations by engaging in
  • the exploration of environmental acoustics in the context of Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), binaural technology, research on the externalization in the auralization of directional sound sources – including three-dimensional rendering of a sound image using headphones, and studies on the degree of influence of various factors affecting sound externalization such as head tracking, individual head-related transfer functions (HRTF), spatial modeling, as well as the effect of spatial congruence and ambisonics—a format for spatial audio recordings based on capturing and reproducing sound over a full sphere, i.e. 360 degrees in all planes around the listener’s position.
  • Currently, his primary research interests focus on immersive sound, binaural audio, ambisonics, and above all Dolby Atmos in the context of enhanced sound perception in multidimensional spaces, with practical applications in the music, multimedia, and film industries.

Teaching Activities

  • He teaches classes for part-time Sound Direction students, namely: Concert Sound Reinforcement Technology Laboratory, Samplitude Sound Editing Laboratory, Sound Production Laboratory (1, 2, 3), and Sound Production Technology.
  • He teaches classes for full-time Sound Direction students, namely: Speech Editing and Sound Forms, Computer Networks in Audio.
  • He teaches classes for second-cycle Acoustics students, namely: Audiovisual Laboratory, Psychophysics I, Psychophysics II, Immersive and Spatial Sound.
  • He also conducts laboratory classes for second-cycle Cognitive Science students, namely: Psychoacoustics.
  • Coordinator for professional internships in Sound Direction for Concert, Radio, and Television Sound Systems.
