Andrea Genovese is a Senior Research Engineer with a PhD from NYU’s Music and Audio Research Lab and over a decade of experience advancing spatial audio, psychoacoustics, and immersive sound for VR/AR. Currently at Qualcomm, he designs spatial audio and virtual acoustics for multimedia products, building on internships and research stints at Microsoft Research, THX, and Fraunhofer IIS. His work spans flexible acoustic rendering, binaural subjective evaluation, distributed mixed-reality audio, and real-time mobile binaural techniques first explored during his Fraunhofer placement. He has taught 3D audio and digital signal theory at NYU Steinhardt, blending rigorous research with practical curriculum development. Andrea’s background combines engineering (MEng, York) and music-technology scholarship with hands-on industry R&D, giving him a rare fluency across perceptual evaluation, signal processing, and system-level implementation. He maintains an active public profile of publications and demos at andreagenovese.com that highlights experimental projects like immersive musical telepresence.
