Piotr Majdak

Piotr works on better understanding the mechanisms underlying spatial hearing and on applying that knowledge to improve acoustic and audio systems. With an academic background in psychoacoustics, signal processing, and audio engineering, he strives to translate his fundamental findings in cognitive science to the audio engineering community. Auditory modeling, software toolboxes, and open-source, reproducible research are his key tools for outreach. See amtoolbox.org and sofaconventions.org

Piotr has published over 70 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters. He is a member of the Acoustical Society of America, the Association for Research in Otolaryngology, the Austrian and German Acoustic Associations, the chair of the technical committee for Psychological and Physiological Acoustics of the European Acoustics Association, and the president of the Austrian section of the Audio Engineering Society.
