• Psychoacoustics of a six-degrees-of-freedom moving listener
• Visual influence on spatial audio perception
• Methods for (audio) quality evaluation in multimodal and six-degrees-of-freedom VR
  

I visited the Multimodal Interaction Lab at McGill, and CIRMMT, where I collaborated on studying the reproduction and perception of a diffuse sound field in arbitrary multichannel spatial audio setups.

The research in my dissertation may be classified in two categories: understanding human perceptual information processing under natural audio-visual conditions and, based on this knowledge, evaluating the quality of experience and content perception in immersive audiovisual reproductions. The main concept guiding this work is the observation that there is no need to simulate the whole world if every aspect of it cannot be perceived.

I developed software for subjective image and video quality tests at the Psychology of Evolving Media and Technology (POEM) research group.
