My current research interests are
directed towards individual differences in working memory and attention and
examining the relationship between working memory and personality. My academic
background comprises sound engineering, psychoacoustics, and psychology. Past
research projects I was involved in include areas related to speech perception
in how we perceive and produce speech, differentiate and ascribe a meaning to
the auditory signal and map it into the rules of a particular language; music
and auditory perception of basic sound dimensions, such as pitch, loudness and
timbre; and auditory memory in how we perceive, describe, and retrieve different
sounds and sound patterns.
Other interests and activities include music illustration and composition, sound
production (recording, mixing, editing), and eurhythmics (music education
introducing body expression, rhythmic patterns and improvisation in learning and
perception of music).
