Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPablo Sarah is a cognitive neuroscience researcher and engineer with 11 years of experience probing human social interaction using real-time audiovisual processing, multimodal sensing, and AI. Currently a CNRS research scientist (LPNC) after lectureship and Marie Curie postdoc posts at the University of Glasgow, he blends signal processing, experimental psychology, and machine learning to study social biases and emotional communication. His background spans PhD work at IRCAM on acoustic cues of smiles to industry-grade audio software and embedded systems development, giving him a rare mix of rigorous theory and production-level engineering. He has collaborated with labs across Europe (including IRCAM and Lund) and developed real-time gesture- and speech-driven systems that reveal unconscious social responses. Fluent in both academic publishing and hands-on C++/Max/Matlab development, he is as comfortable designing experiments as shipping low-latency signal-processing code. Based in Paris with French–Colombian roots, he often connects artistic sound research with cognitive science to uncover subtle pathways of social influence.
