Michaela Warnecke, Ph.D.
I am a Postdoctoral Research Scientist for Auditory Spatial Perception at Facebook Reality Labs (formerly Oculus Research). My research interests broadly center around how dynamic and complex signals embedded in noisy acoustic environments are processed and effectively guide perception.
