Dr. Konstantinos Pastiadis graduated from the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
He also concluded his post-graduate studies and received his Ph.D. on Voice/Speech Signal Processing from the same department, Laboratory of Electroacoustics, Music Technology and Television Systems. Currently, he is Associate Professor on Musical Acoustics, Psychoacoustics and Signal Processing at the Department of Musical Studies, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, and member of the Cognitive and Computational Musicology Group of AUTH. He is also a visiting Professor at the School of Medicine, University of Athens. He received his degree on music from Yamaha Music Foundation and he is a piano and keyboards performer. He has published several research articles in the fields of Psychoacoustics, Perception & Musical Acoustics, Perception & Signal Processing in Performing Arts, Voice/Singing Acoustics/Pathology. He participated in numerous funded research projects in the fields of Technology in Hearing Restoration, Music Perception, Acoustics of Voice, etc. His research and teaching interests on Psychoacoustics and Signal Processing include: psychophysical methods and applications in music perception, computational models in auditory physiology, perception and production of musical signals, tests/systems for the acquisition, processing and analysis of objective and behavioral data, signal processing/analysis with applications in music perception, room acoustics in music performance, and, of course, acoustics of musical instruments and singing/voice.
Research interests:
Digital Signal Processing: Behavioral signal processing, Feature extraction, Joint Time-Frequency Analysis, Higher Order Statistics, Wavelets, Stochastic Processes, etc.
Psychophysics: Music Perception, Musical Sound Quality, Musical Timbre, Inharmonicity perception, Spatial perception, Auditory Perception & Quantities, Computational Auditory Modelling, Psychometric testing, Algorithmic modelling of perceptual/cognitive processing, Electrophysiological imaging (EEG), Cochlear Implants, etc.
Performing Arts Medicine: Singing voice, Hearing deficits in Voice-Singing, Non-linearities, Neural networks, Dynamic Programming, etc.
Data Acquisition & Systems: Recording and analysis of acoustic, behavioral and biometric signals, Electroacoustic measurements, Virtual Instruments, etc.
Multimedia & systems: Virtual and remote environments for education in Performing Arts, Multimedia production, Streaming-Broadcasting, etc.
