About
As a researcher I work at the intersection of contemporary audiovisual art, musicology, and science. I am interested in theories of science, philosophy of the mind, as well as in theoretical and practical explorations of generative, algorithmic, and data-driven forms of music and design.
In 2024, I was honored with the Award of Excellence by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research, which recognized my doctoral thesis as one of the top 40 dissertations of the year. I received my PhD in Sound and Music Computing from the Institute of Electronic Music and Acoustics (IEM) in Graz.
I taught at Art University Graz and Art University Linz and have contributed to research projects funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF). My work has been presented at international conferences and published in proceedings, journal articles, and books.
