Nadja Schinkel-Bielefeld
Welcome to my website!
I am a neuroscientist with a background in physics, specializing in auditory and visual human perception and cognition. I am working in the science team of the hearing aid manufacturer WS Audiology in Erlangen (Germany).
This is my personal website, where you find information about my academic research as well as links to papers and posters. (Information about recent or ongoing projects with industry partners cannot be included here.)
About me:
I studied physics at the Universities of Bremen (Germany) and Durham (UK), graduating from the latter with a M.Sc. in Elementary Particle Theory. I obtained my doctorate from Bremen University for research on probabilistic models of human contour integration, conducted at the Institute of Theoretical Neurophysics. I went on to do a postdoc in the Department of Brain and Cognitive Sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where I worked with Dr. Ruth Rosenholtz on a model for human perceptual organization and its implications for computer human interactions. Next I was a postdoctoral researcher in the NeuroTheory Lab at the University of Maryland, College Park, where I worked on nonlinear models of single neuron computation in the auditory system. At Fraunhofer IIS, I conducted research on listening test methodology for the subjective evaluation of speech and audio-coded material. Currently I work as a research audiologist at WS Audiology where I focus on the evaluation of hearing aids in everyday life and big data analysis.
