Meet Dr. Taruffi

I am an interdisciplinary music researcher and music psychology expert, working at the intersection of psychology, aesthetics and neuroscience. My academic background spans both sciences and humanities. I have an M.Sc. in Music, Mind & Brain from Goldsmiths, University of London, an M.A. in Aesthetics and a B.A. in Theoretical Philosophy, both from the University of Florence. After receiving my Ph.D. in Psychology from the Cluster of Excellence “Languages of Emotion” at the Free University of Berlin, I held various research and teaching positions in a number of international institutions including the Free University of Berlin, the Humboldt University of Berlin, in Germany, and Durham University in the UK. I currently work as Assistant Professor at the Academy of Music (School of Creative Arts) at Hong Kong Baptist University.
