As part of my Ph.D research, I have developed the luminance-texture-mass (LTM) framework for timbral semantics. Since then, I have worked as a research associate on several European and nationally funded projects focusing on the evaluation of computational creativity in music and on the role of timbre in inducing musical tension. More recently, my research interests have moved towards cross-modal correspondences and multisensory perception with a focus on sound.  I am currently supported by a personal HFRI postdoctoral research grant entitled “Olfacoustics: Exploring how semantics shape sensory integration.

I have also founded Soundpear, whose mission is to enrich gustatory and olfactory experiences through sound and music pairing.
