TENeMP People

The AUEB team consists of two senior researchers, four experienced researchers and two beginning researchers; three team members (30%) are female and the rest are male. The team includes two experienced musicians (Dr. Yannis Thomas and Dr. Konstantinos Tsioutas) who can perform live tests of the platforms, with actual musical instruments and real performances, without the need to recruit external members.
