Her research interests include expanding interdisciplinary research in the field of perception and processing of sound in complex acoustic environments for various listener groups. She studies perception and communication in complex acoustic scenarios, for example, noise exposure in classrooms or open-plan offices. She develops methods that allow listening experiments in artificially created complex acoustic scenes to be as lifelike as possible, using advanced technical systems.
