Présentation
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Université Toulouse - Jean Jaurès, working with Julien Tardieu on the effects of sonification on perceiving, learning, and improving sports gestures. Previously I worked on speech processing and AI explainablity with Jean-François Bonastre and Corinne Fredouille at the Laboratoire Informatique d'Avignon. At Aix-Marseille Université I worked with Christine Meunier and Alain Ghio at the Laboratoire Parole et Langage on speech perception and production and Christophe Bourdin and Lionel Bringoux at the Institute des Sciences du Mouvement on real-time auditory feedback of sports gestures. My PhD in Music Composition centered on developing a digital signal processing toolkit for transforming acoustic properties for creative uses. My main research interests center on digital signal processing, multisensory perception, and language processing. Education:
2016-2017, Aix-Marseille Université: M2MPI in Acoustics.
2010-2015, University of Florida, USA: PhD in Music Composition.
2007-2009, Mills College, USA: MA in Music Composition.
2002-2006, University of Virginia, USA: BA in Mathematics
