COFUND/Marie Curie Junior Research Fellow, Durham University

I am a researcher in cognitive ethnomusicology with a focus on the cross-cultural perception of music, based at Humboldt Universität zu Berlin. I have conducted fieldwork in the U.K., Greece, Japan, Pakistan and Papua New Guinea. My work has been funded by the Marie Curie Foundation, the Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation, the University of Edinburgh, the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and the Onassis Foundation. I am currently working on how music affects and is affected by socio-cultural factors.
