Katarina Poole is a Research Fellow at Imperial College London, where she joined the team in January 2023. Her primary research interest lies in understanding how the auditory system employs Head-Related Transfer Function (HRTF) to comprehend acoustic environments. She completed her PhD project at the University College London (UCL) Ear Institute, where she examined how the brain detects acoustic patterns. Specifically, her research focused on behavioral detection of random and regular tone sequences, investigating the responses of small neuronal networks in the auditory cortex and hippocampus to auditory regularities. Poole has worked on various innovative projects including the SONICOM project, which emphasizes transforming auditory-based social interactions in augmented and virtual reality settings. Her contributions extend to developing tools such as the Spatial Audio Metrics (SAM) Python toolbox for HRTF numerical analysis and visualization, enhancing the accessibility of spatial audio through the SONICOM HRTF Dataset.
