Marc Leman

Bio
Marc Leman is is a professor of musicology at Ghent University, specializing in the theory and methodology of human interaction with music—what people do with music and, more importantly, what music does to people. Considered by some as a pioneer in computational and embodied musicology, Leman now focuses on the statistical analysis of high-dimensional music data. He founded the Art and Science Lab at De Krook, a European top lab for studying human interaction in virtual reality with high-performance 3D audio and motion capture facilities. He has published over 450 articles and books (including at MIT Press). In 2015, he received the Ernest-John Solvay Prize for Language, Culture, and Social Sciences from FWO and held the Francqui Chair at the Université de Mons in 2014. He was also a laureate of the Methusalem programme (KU Leuven) from 2007 to 2023.
