Postdoctoral Research Fellow @ Filmuniversität Babelsberg KONRAD WOLF


 

I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Filmuniversität Babelsberg KONRAD WOLF working on the project ‘Listening to Climate Change’ funded by Postdoc Network Brandenburg. My work focuses on intersections and combinations of visual-spatial and sonic dimensions in a responsive and interactive way in relation to materials, environments and technologies. I have  completed a PhD in Art (2019) titled ‘Co-composition processes: form, structure and time across sculpture and sound’ at the University of Edinburgh as a Scholar of the Onassis Foundation. I hold an integrated Masters in Fine Arts (2014) from Athens School of Fine Arts. I have studied at the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris as an Erasmus exchange student (2012-13). I have also studied music performance of piano and cello, and I hold a degree in Harmony (2008) from the Music School of Aghia Paraskevi in Athens, Greece. I am an Associate Fellow of Higher Education Academy and co-founder and managing editor of Airea: Arts and Interdisciplinary Research journal hosted by Edinburgh University Library.
