I supported a scientific research project focused on dyslexia by producing precisely engineered speech stimuli for psychoacoustic experiments. My role involved recording, editing, aligning, and manipulating audio material with a high level of temporal and spectral accuracy in order to meet strict experimental requirements. Drawing on my background in psychoacoustics, acoustics, and scientific methodology, I helped create controlled sound files that could be reliably used in perceptual testing and linguistic analysis. The work required both technical audio expertise and a careful research-oriented workflow, including attention to reproducibility, signal consistency, and fine-grained acoustic detail.

As Product Manager for Sound, I led the end-to-end development of sound-based products focused on natural acoustic experiences and interior integration. My responsibilities ranged from creative concept development and acoustic design to technical engineering, product realization, and quality assurance. I managed innovation-driven projects exploring the role of sound as part of spatial and interior design, including custom sound modules for public spaces, eco-acoustic and psychoacoustic research initiatives, and digital product presentation concepts. In close collaboration with marketing and sales teams, I contributed to the strategic positioning and market-oriented evolution of the product portfolio and its sonic identity. I also coordinated cross-functional product development processes and project management across all stages of production.

As Sound Designer and Scientific Researcher, I was responsible for the development and optimization of sound design, acoustic design, and audio technology for a range of sound-based products focused on natural and immersive listening experiences. My work included the creation and technical implementation of immersive soundscapes, as well as product testing, acoustic measurements, and refinement of playback systems. In parallel, I conducted product-oriented eco-acoustic and psychoacoustic research, including the conception, execution, and analysis of scientific studies on the effects of natural soundscapes in clinical environments, partly in collaboration with the Max Planck Institute. I also worked on the scientific editing and communication of research findings, translating complex scientific content into clear product documentation and accessible knowledge for interdisciplinary teams and external audiences.
