Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJean-julien Aucouturier is a Directeur de Recherche at CNRS and head of a new audio and system science initiative at FEMTO-ST, combining formal computer science training with deep expertise in neuroscience, machine learning for dynamical systems, and control. He led the CREAM lab at IRCAM (2012–2020), developing real-time voice and music transformation tools used to probe how sound evokes emotion and to inspire clinical applications. A long track record of international postdoctoral and academic posts—including RIKEN, The University of Tokyo, and IRCAM—underpins his ability to bridge fundamental research and applied technology. As VP Research and co-founder of Alta Voce he translates lab prototypes into commercial real-time voice-transformation solutions for call centers. His background in electronic engineering, audio processing (King's College MSc), and clinical neurophysiology gives him a rare combination of signal-processing rigor and clinical perspective. He is based in Besançon and is known for shipping audibly impactful tools (e.g., DAVID) that double as experimental platforms.
