I study how people from different backgrounds experience the auditory world and the impact of their mental representations on music behaviou and culture. I am particularly interested in making auditory research more scalable and generalizable across cultures.

Cultural traditions, such as language and music, arise from complex cultural processes of human interaction and the transmission of knowledge. My work examines such processes by combining computational methods with cultural transmission experiments in complex production modalities, such as music and art.

I am interested in both the biological and cognitive foundations of sensory evaluation and aesthetic experience, and how they contribute to the collective dynamics of popularity and opinion formation in art.
