I am a post-doctoral researcher in movement and computer science. My research focuses on the close connection between movement and music. In particular, I’m interested in spontaneous movements during music production and music listening. Currently, I’m investigating music-induced movements in interactive scenarios. Combining 3D motion capture and neuroimaging techniques, we aim to understand how specific movements are recruited during joint music activities and whether they may serve social communicative purposes.
