SHORT BIOGRAPHY:
Stefan Weinzierl, professor for Audio Communication at TU Berlin and sought- after consultant for the room acoustical design of theatres and concert halls, has coordinated a DFG research unit for the “Simulation and Evaluation of Acoustical Environments,” (SEACEN, 2011-2018) and is an internationally recognized expert for the technologies for virtual acoustic reality and the perceptual qualities of virtual and physical acoustic environments. He has received numerous research grants for projects from the German Research Council (DFG), EU Horizon 2020 program and Einstein Foundation. He is currently the coordinator of the Hybrid Plattform, and oversees cooperative projects between the Universität der Künste Berlin and Technische Universität Berlin.
