How do we experience beauty? Why does music move us? What are the main principles underlying popularity and fashion? I am interested on both the biological and cognitive foundations of sensory valuation and aesthetic experience, in particular of complex and abstract stimuli such as music and art.

Lecturer
I am a Lecturer in Psychology at Goldsmiths, University of London. I am also a visiting researcher in the Computational Auditory Perception Group at Max Planck Institute for Empirical Aesthetics. I am interested in understanding the psychological and cultural foundations of complex social behaviour such as music and aesthetics, and the role they play in human societies and cultural evolution.
