Research and Publications

As a researcher and scientist in the field of acoustics, my work focuses on the study and analysis of room acoustics, musical instruments, and the development of advanced acoustic simulation methods. By combining theoretical approaches with extensive experimental datasets, I aim to deepen the understanding of sound source dynamics and their perception in various acoustic environments.

Below, you will find a selected list of my scientific publication, showcasing my research and contributions to the fields of acoustics, audio engineering, and spatial sound perception.
