What I'm looking for

Seeking a dynamic environment that values creativity and collaboration, where I can leverage my research expertise and international experience for societal impact.

I am a researcher with a strong background in audiovisual perception, cognitive psychology, and psychoacoustics. My expertise lies in designing and developing immersive multimedia experiences that leverage 3D modeling and spatial audio to create engaging environments that foster multisensory interaction and enhance user experience.

With a PhD in Audiovisual Synchrony Design and Development of Extended Reality Experiences, I have conducted in-depth research on audiovisual perception in extended reality, employing advanced qualitative and quantitative methodologies to optimize user interactions with audio and visual stimuli in immersive/virtual environments.

I am committed to fostering innovation and cultivating the next generation of experts in media technology and cognitive sciences. I have extensive experience in teaching and mentoring across multidisciplinary domains, and I am passionate about creating dynamic environments that value creativity and collaboration.
