Steven van de Par

Steven van de Par studied physics at the Technical University Eindhoven, and received his Ph.D. degree in 1998 from the Institute for Perception Research on a topic related to binaural hearing. As a Postdoc at the same institute, he studied auditory-visual interaction and he was a Guest Researcher at the University of Connecticut Health Centre. In the beginning of 2000, he joined Philips Research Laboratories in Eindhoven. Main fields of expertise are auditory and multisensory perception and low-bit-rate audio coding. He published various papers on binaural detection, auditory-visual synchrony perception, and audio-coding-related topics. He participated in several projects on low-bit-rate audio coding based on sinusoidal techniques and is presently participating in the EU project Adaptive Rate-Distortion Optimized audio codeR (ARDOR).
