I am Professor of Digital Media and Head of the Digital Media Department at the Antoinette Westphal College of Media Arts & Design at Drexel University. I currently also serve as the Program Director of the Digital Media PhD degree program.

Prior to my affiliation with Drexel I held academic teaching, research and management positions at Vienna University of Technology, Austria, at the Department of Computer Science at Arizona State University, at Danube University Krems, Austria, and the KPH Vienna/Krems, Austria, for which I served as Rektor/President.

My work focuses on theory and practice of immersive audio as well as the educational use of digital media, computer games, blockchain technology, and generative artificial intelligence.

All Things Immersive Audio

Video tutorials, plugin and software reviews, tips, tricks, and everything else related to spatial and immersive audio. The topics I cover include Dolby Atmos, Ambisonics, MPEG-H, or Sony 360 Reality Audio in virtually any Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) available on the market today.

Spatial Audio Monthly Podcast

Episodes of our monthly podcast called "Spatial Audio Monthly" which I co-host with Sam Hocking. In each episode, we discuss the latest developments in immersive and spatial audio technologies with industry experts, providing expert insights and analysis for our listeners.

Beyond Immersive Audio

Videos that don’t fit in any of the other categories. this includes video essays about topics not related to immersive and spatial audio or reviews of soft- and hardware for stereo music production.

AI Generated Music Tracks

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) is poised to revolutionize music production. This section features a collection of experimental music tracks that I have created using various AI tools, with a particular focus on Udio.com.
