ACADEMIC
PHD CANDIDATE
My doctoral research develops advanced spatial recording protocols for symphonic ensembles and Greek traditional instruments. Investigating the transition from stereo to immersive formats (Dolby Atmos, Ambisonics), the study utilizes psychoacoustic analysis to optimize the listener’s sense of "presence" and "envelopment." This work bridges acoustic physics with modern digital production to establish new standards for high-fidelity immersive sound.
ELINA 2024
Presentation of advanced research on spatial audio mixing for popular music, explored within the framework of the "Acoustics 2024" conference. This project, co-authored with Professor Minas Emmanouil (Ionian University), analyzes immersive technologies such as Dolby Atmos (7.1.4), Object-based, and Binaural 3D audio. By conducting experimental listening tests and aesthetic evaluations, the research investigates the role of the spatial dimension in emotional response and the technical challenges producers face in creating high-fidelity, three-dimensional sonic environments.
MSC MUSIC AND PERFORMING ARTS
03
Master of Science in Music and Performing Arts. This program bridges the gap between advanced music theory and the practical demands of the stage. My studies focused on the synergy between technical precision and artistic expression, providing a deep understanding of how sound shapes the performing arts in contemporary environments.
ELINA 2008
Presentation of a specialized research paper on the acoustical analysis and virtual implementation of the zournas using physical modeling. Developed in collaboration with Panagiotis Tzevelekos and the University of Athens, the project utilized digital waveguide techniques to simulate sound wave propagation and captured unique performance features through laryngograph measurements. This work contributes to the digital preservation of traditional Greek instruments.
BSc in Music Technology and Acoustics
Foundational studies in sound physics, musical acoustics, and audio engineering. My time at the Rethymno campus focused on the technical analysis of sound propagation and the implementation of professional recording and reinforcement systems, providing the scientific basis for my subsequent research and professional career.
MUSIC SCHOOL DRAMA
My musical journey began at the Music School of Drama, where I studied classical theory, harmony, and Byzantine music. This formal education was complemented by extensive experience as a professional musician, performing in traditional festivals and cultural events across Greece and abroad. The discipline of live performance, including early distinctions in major concert halls, has fundamentally shaped my perspective as a sound engineer and researcher. This background allows me to approach audio technology with a musician's sensitivity, bridging technical precision with authentic artistic expression.
