Since 2012, he has been an associate professor (tenured) at the Aalto University, Espoo, Finland, where he leads the virtual acoustics team. The passion of Prof. Lokki is to understand how rooms modify the sounds that we hear. To pursue the understanding of room acoustics, his team is investigating auralization, spatial sound reproduction, binaural technology, and novel objective and subjective evaluation methods, as well as physically based room acoustics modeling methods. Particular interest has been devoted to concert halls, in which the team has developed new measurement techniques, analysis methods for spatial impulse responses, and sensory evaluation methods to understand perceptual differences between concert halls. Prof. Lokki has published over 200 scientific articles and has received research funding from the European Research Council and the Academy of Finland. Stefania Serafin is Professor with special responsibilities in sound in multimodal environments at Aalborg University in Copenhagen. She previously was Associate Professor (2006–2012) and Assistant Professor (2003–2006) at Aalborg University Copenhagen. She received a Ph.D. in Computer-Based Music Theory and Acoustics from Stanford University in 2004 and a Master in Acoustics, Computer Science and Signal Processing Applied to Music from IRCAM (Paris) in 1997. She is currently principal investigator for the Nordic Sound and Music Computing Nordic University Hub, supported by Nordforsk. Her main research interests are sound models for interactive systems
