Dr. Hendrik Purwins
Im a lecturer at the Music Technology Group at the
Universitat Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona. I am also head of research and development at PMC Technologies.
I have been visiting researcher at Perception and Sound Design Team, IRCAM, CCRMA, Stanford, Auditory Lab, McGill, and visiting professor at UPF.
I have obtained my PhD "Profiles of Pitch Classes" at the Neural Information Processing Group at Berlin University of Technology, receiving a scholarship from the Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes (only awarded to the 0.5 % best students in Germany). Before that I studied mathematics at Bonn and Muenster University, completing a diploma in pure mathematics (all grades 'A').
Starting with playing the violin at age of 7, I have played several string quartet and orchestra concerts during my mandatory military service with the professional German head quarters chamber orchestra.
