My main research interests are expressive music performance, emotion in sound and music performance, sound in interaction, robot sound design, and sonification.

I have been working as a Professor of Media Technology at the Division of Media Technology and Interaction Design (MID), School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS), since 2014, and I am heading the Sound and Music Computing group.

Since January 2016, I have been Director of Studies (Programansvarig) for the Degree Programme in Media Technology.

Since June 2019, I have been Director of NAVET, a KTH center for research in art, technology, and design.

Since December 2025, I have been a member of the board of the C.M. Lerici Foundation, affiliated with the Italian Institute of Culture in Stockholm.

I am a member of the steering committee of the Sound and Music Computing Network.

Before 2014, I was doing research at Division of Speech Music and Hearing (TMH)since August 1996, thanks to a one-year TMR-Marie Curie fellowship from the European Union. In 2000, I completed a PhD in Music Acoustics at KTH, with a thesis on music performance with the title "Virtual Virtuosity - Studies in automatic music performance".
Before joining TMH, I worked as a research engineer at the Centro di Sonologia Computazionale (CSC) of Padova University, Italy, for five years.
