WoS Researcher-ID: F-1724-2017

I am an Associate Professor at the Acoustic Technology group at DTU Electro. The main areas of my research are acoustics, signal processing and measurement methods, with the aim to advance how we sense, interact with and manipulate audible sound fields. I am the Head of Studies for the MSc in Engineering Acoustics at DTU, and teach the MSc course Advanced Acoustics and PhD course Research Topics in Acoustic Technology at DTU. I am a Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America, a VILLUM Young Investigator, and the Chair of the Technical Committee in Audio Signal Processing of the European Acoustics Association. I serve as Associate Editor for the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America and for Mechanical Systems Signal Processing.
