Stefania Serafin

Stefania Serafin completed her master's degree in acoustics, computer science and signal processing applied to music, from IRCAM (Paris) in 1997.[2] Following, she received her PhD in computer-based music theory and acoustics from Stanford University in 2004.[3]

In 2018, Stefania Serafin was employed as professor at the Department of Architecture, Design and Media technology at Aalborg University in Copenhagen. Before becoming a professor Serafin worked as an associate professor and lecturer, also at Aalborg University.[4] As a researcher, her focus lies on sound models and sound design for interactive media and multimodal interfaces.[1][5]

Serafin holds the position as president of the organization, Sound and Music Computing Network, which is a portal for the sound and music computing community.[6] Also, she is the project leader of ‘The Nordic Sound and Music Computing Network (NordicSMC)’, which is a university hub for sound and music computing led by the fields internationally leading researchers from the Nordic countries.[7]
